[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 244591, member: 16042"] I have a different leukemia brother, commiserations and virtual support to you! I've been on testosterone the whole time. Doctor's general knowledge/understanding of testosterone/TRT is dismal. The ONLY doctor I have that does is Dr Saya at Defy Medical. My other doctors: 2 lymph hem/onc specialists, cardiologist, urologist, PCP, Pulmonologist, Infectious disease, Ortho, NONE of them knows this kind of info. I am above board and withhold nothing form any of them. I have ditched a couple ( a PCP and a urologist) that were misinformed and wanted to change my routine based on archaic information, and a cardiologist who still thinks that taking testosterone increases cardiac risk. What I am saying is that it can be a very hard road finding a hormone doc who actually knows how to manage TRT well, especially if you are trying to stay within insurance constraints. And with co-morbidities, that specialty niche is that much more important. With cancer, the only thing I'd be concerned with is whether the cancer is hormone driven. My Leukemia is not. Not that it couldn;t happen, but I have had no drug interaction issues with TRT. And with the cancer related stuff I've been through, my liver was affected which changed my response to testosterone and thyroid. Dr Saya worked through all of this with me, we adjusted as needed.
