So are you still on testosterone now? I read somewhere that all men start slowly having enlarged prostates from age 25 onwards. So basically if you get old enough as a man everyone eventually gets prostate cancer
I am still on HRT. As one ages, their test levels decrease. When you are on HRT, you are pretty much on it for the rest of your life, if you want to maintain good health.
One can have a enlarged prostate and not develop cancer. My prostate was enlarged for as long as I can remember. I no longer have a prostate. After I had the prostatectomy, I waited two years before the doctor would again prescribe testosterone. As I mentioned before, PSA numbers are a good indicator that something is not right with the prostate. My numbers for almost 3 years now have been considered undetectable. If they should change, I would likely have to go off all hormone replacement. Men who wait too long to find out or do something about prostate cancer have worse outcomes. Prostate cancer can metastasize. If it does, the prognosis is usually much worse.
You are right, pretty much every man will develop prostate cancer if they live long enough. It is normally a very slow growing cancer. Old men like me, usually die of other causes before the prostate cancer kills them.
