I'm 68 and have been on trt for about six months now (100 mgs. injected bi-weekly) and the changes I've experienced have been pretty profound. My libido came back, as well as erections and even semen volume. I'm building muscle at the gym and just generally feel better emotionally.
I had a full-body PET scan for lung cancer at the end of 2024 and the scan showed some unexpected metabolic activity around the prostate. I then had a prostate MRI done and the report states that there appears to be a nodule on my prostate which the radiologist who read it seems convinced looks like T2 cancer. I'm now waiting for (and dreading) a prostate biopsy. The strange thing about all this is that my PSA has always been incredibly low. When I started trt it went from 0.324 to 0.635 and hasn't risen any further. I also have no history of prostate cancer in my family.
I'm hoping, of course, that this biopsy turns out to be benign or even inflammation possibly caused by the testosterone, or maybe that's just wishful thinking. Right now I don't know if I should continue my bi-weekly dose or not... I keep getting mixed messages. There are medical papers all over the internet stating there is no correlation between trt and prostate cancer, but then my urologist assistant tells me there is.
I don't know if anyone else has been in this situation, but any advice re: whether I should continue or not would be appreciated. I didn't dose yesterday because I'm afraid to do it, but I also don't want to lose the gains I've made.
