Re:Tingling tongue, testosterone cypionate

[Guest guest]

I started taking Test. cyp. about 2 months ago, and I love the results (for fatigue). I just learned, however, from the friend who made me aware of the benefits of testosterone supplementation, that he has prostate cancer. He's young (45 or 50), so he and his doc are pretty sure it's because of the testosterone injections and gels he's taken over the years.I was warned before I started taking it that prostate cancer is a possible side effect, so now I'm wondering if it's worth it. I might go off it in a few months.S.guyinsouthala@...guyinsouthala@...

I thought I'd read (several times) exactly the opposite of this-- I.E., that most research suggests hormone replacement does NOT actually cause prostate cancer, but may accelerate its growth if it's developing anyway...?
