*the school of thought that I ascribe to is that high testosterone levels are not creating more risk of prostate cancer, prostate cancer progression, prostate cancer recurrence and that we don't really need to be really intimidated by high testosterone levels and you'll see this sometimes in people that are taking testosterone that their levels will be running a bit high so I don't focus a lot on that although other experts do and they feel that they want to control the levels in the normal range and they don't want it to be above the normal range, I ascribe to a school of thought that the high testosterone levels are not that relevant
