Wait and Watch Urged in More Prostate Cases

Without insurance, it's only affordable by affluent men. So Kaiser is covering it.
That’s not the only reason, not having to deal with CVS every 30 days, going without treatment for a week while I wait for a refill. Kaiser allows me to refill early and every 90 days.

That means I only have to refill Jatenzo three times per year versus twelve times. So it’s also about the convenience.

That is a plus with Kaiser.
 
I think it was relatively indifferent. My surgeon was well informed on TRT and had no issues with resuming as long as surgery went as expected (it did). A small part of my decision to have surgery vs other treatment options was a desire to restart TRT as soon as possible. When you have RP, your sensitive PSA result after surgery should be undetectable- if it’s not, there is cancer somewhere inside. With other treatments where the prostate is not removed, you can’t rely on the PSA test in the same way as a screening for reoccurrence. So I can now remain on TRT and I’ve got a very simple, yet highly accurate way to test for any recurrence.
How has your time been back on TRT so far? I’m trying to get back on here 2 months post surgery. 2 undetectable PSAs so far.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
