[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 50297, member: 3"] I am so glad you are done with chemo and surgeries. Time for re-optimization! Answers to your questions and my questions: After that appointment, I was doing 4 pumps of Androgel a day for a little over a month before I stopped. That was this past June (maybe late-May actually), and I haven't done anything TRT-wise since then. The whole time I was Androgel I noticed a bit of improvement with my mood and occasional morning wood but nothing drastic enough to pay the money and continue using it. On top of the current symptoms, I'm concerned with everything I've read about how low T increases your risk of serious health issues. So, I wanted to ask you guys: 1. Will natural ways to increase T actually make enough of a difference? My next blood test is end of November and I've thought about making radical changes until then and see the results... but I'm not sure if it's even worth it. Not much. Weight loss is the main way to increase T but by no more than 20-30% [B][URL="https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?501-How-to-Increase-Testosterone-Naturally"]How to Increase Testosterone Naturally[/URL][/B] 2. Or should I look at more effective TRT methods like injectables? I'm nervous about the stuff I've read about countering injectable T with HCG because I'm tested for HCG every 3 months since it's a tumor marker for my cancer. Some urologists are afraid of HCG. Canada in particular is very conservative about its use. In your case HCG use will interfere with your HCG cancer follow up tests. Are you looking into having children? If so, may be a cycle with Clomid of 8 weeks to them save your sperm for later use may be smart. Then you can start TRT knowing that there is viable sperm stored somewhere. You could also take breaks from TRT and get on Clomid for a few weeks when you are ready to impregnate. 50-75 mg tiny injections of testosterone cypionate under the skin with 27 gauge 1/2 inch needles seem to not only sustain T levels above 600 ng/dL but it is easy to comply with.
