| Subject: | Prostectomy and post surgery Testosterone TX |
I am a past MD Anderson patient. I was diagnosed with Prostate CA at 47 with a grade 6 tumor and Stage 1. The surgery was successful and 5 years later I am still PSA non-traceable. I have not had any significant side effects except occasional mild impotence. I have seen articles of small studies with patients being treated with testosterone to bring men into a more normal range and that there has not been any increases in return of PSA or additonal tumors. I was wondering what the doctors at MD Anderson think regarding these studies and what criteria should a patient consider prior to taking anything like this. I would certainly like to have additonal energy, muscle mass, potency etc... but I wma not willing to increase my risk if it posses a significant risk. Any feedback would be appreciated.
