[QUOTE="CanceSux76, post: 240708, member: 44221"] Hello, Looking for any feedback or advice if anybody has any for my specific situation. I am a 5-year testicular cancer survivor. I have one testicle left which has a pretty good size varicocele. My first testosterone measurement back in 2016 was around 238. My highest measurement during that time was in the low 400s. I have low testosterone and that probably explains excess weight and carrying but I also have other health issues post chemotherapy like occipital neuralgia, light-headed and dizziness at times as well as anxiety and panic attacks now that are taking place. I guess I'm hesitant to start TRT after all that I've been through the last couple years. My brother uses defy but when I talk to them I felt more like a sales pitch than a doctor truly interested in helping me. But that may just be my interpretation. Does it seem like I may be a good candidate for TRT? My erections are nowhere near what they used to be and I find myself very tired in the morning. I also struggle to lose weight however it's difficult to exercise with the neuralgia issues and the pulsing in my head that I get at times. Anybody ever experience these symptoms that TRT helped? My father and all his brothers have had prostate cancer as well so they were a little concerned about that family history with me starting as well. I've attached some recent non-fasting blood work. I'm also a member of the Facebook group but for some reason I'm blocked from posting on there and I'm not sure why so I wanted to try here. Any doctor or men's clinic recommendations? My urologist at Duke that I saw prior didn't seem overly concerned with my numbers they were worried more about any symptoms that it may arise but I haven't spoken to them in a while as I felt like they were just brushing me off.
