[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 117522, member: 16042"] Would it be possible for you to write a brief summary of the prostate symptoms and changes in PSA? As one who suffers from some OCD hypochondria to another, regarding the purpose of your post asking for thoughts about the prostate, the detailed history of every aspect of your hormone treatments depression etc are too distracting from the main point. I can not follow the entirety of what you have written to extract the pertinent info about your prostate. Please summarize: -Prostate symptoms -DRE findings -PSA and other relevant labs specifically related to prostate. And just one general comment: You have been through a lot, and understandably have a lot of worry over everything in your history. Unfortunately, you have a gloom and doom outlook. Slow down man. You have whipped yourself into an unnecessary frenzy. Just because there is are studies about Estrogen and Testosterone provoking cancer in rats does not mean you have been exposed to similar doses/levels, nor that any resulting cancerous cells in you will result in full blown prostate cancer. This is not to rule out anything, it is just that you have not received any cancer diagnosis, but you seem so freaked out sure that you have cancer. How about putting the brakes on your emotional response? Cancer is a complicated thing. [U]Everyone[/U] as they age end up having mutated cells, including cells with cancer mutations. That does not mean every cell becomes a malignancy. For the most part those cells are short lived and just die off, sometimes aided by our immune system. I am in the midst of a prostate scare myself, with PSA having peaked at 7.2, it has since declined. It also seems due to timing that it was/is hormone related. I have been reducing Testosterone dosage to bring down hematocrit and E2, and I have applied some self treatment with supplements and diet changes. I don't know whether these things helped, but at least PSA is decreasing. [/QUOTE]
