Question -- T Levels & Prostate Cancer

[Guest guest]

My Dr. has changed my compounded T-gel prescription (T/Chrysin 10/15%, 0.5

ml/day) from daily to 5 days per week because she's concerned about the

possibility of prostate cancer from elevated T levels.

I'm 66 years young, and my last lab. test results were:

Total T, 1421, Free 180.9,

[the lab test results calculated] F/T amount of 1.27%.

Estradiol was 49 giving a T/E2 ratio of 29:1 vs. what I'd like to have of 20:1

I tried to talk her out of that with no luck, but I will be having a PSA test,

along with a DRE, before I see her again on 09/27 to verify there's nothing

present to be concerned about.

Is her concern based on current understandings of T levels in relation to

prostate cancer potential valid, or has there been any recent research findings

that question the " old wisdom " ?

I would certainly appreciate any thoughts you may have on this topic.
