hi,gp sent a letter 3wks ago no reply yet to endocrinologist regarding treatment for osteoporosis and my testosterone not recovered, been reading about medication for  osteoporosis horror stories, the latest one is romosozumab which increases a heart attack or stroke, can't take bisohosphonate infusions because of hiatus hernia, this is all because of no testosterone, which I have repeatedly asked for, and after  reading jt posts and he's getting  on well with trt he's  Gleason 9 and  I'm Gleason 7,not good.

Sounds like you need a referral. You need to kick up a stink at the Gaps..

Osteoporosis would probably be cured by testosterone as would all your other issues apart from the prostate cancer. You should be making the decision based on what you want not what some GP can be arsed to give you.

Not reasonable to blame the GP in this way franci- if you bothered reading the back story, radar's GP referred him to endocrinology as appropriate. The endocrinologist consulted with radar's oncologist and decided that he could not have testosterone replacement. No GP is going to go against the decision of two consultants who have undertaken relevant tests and assessed the patient's needs.

Thanks, but it was urologist and endocrinologist, not oncologist,

Did they give you an explanation, other than the conventional view, that TRT could cause recurrence?

Urologist said there maybe some sleeping cancer cells.
