I havent researched it at all yet. kinda in shock right now... my dad AND his brother both got diagnosed with prostate cancer this week! My uncle is not a healthy guy. my dad is THE picture of healthy natural male. He exercises to this day always stays in good shape watches what he eats etc. doesnt smoke doesnt drink.... he is 66 years old.
He owned a gym when i was younger. hes prob the reason gym feels like home to me. anyway....
I am @40 yrs old if Dad and my Uncle have prostate cancer and i have maybe abused roids for 10 years what does this mean for me!?
little worried tbh. i never really used anti estrogens...
i will research (but kinda scared too and still in shock) it but are our prostates at risk banging juice?

Fit2Serve,
So sorry to hear about you father. I lost my Dad not too long ago to prostate cancer
(stage 4, had metastasized to his bones and lungs). I went to all his Dr. appointments
until he finally went to hospice care, I was with him there too and was with him when
he died. Not a fun way to go . . . the most horrific pain imaginal.
My Dad was fit as a fiddle, a personal trainer at local gym. But . . . after the age of 80,
he did not check his PSA, should have, doctors should have insisted on it because he
had a suspicious biopsy years before.
I was told by my Urologist that my odds of getting prostate cancer will be the same
as everybody else’s after the age of 63 (this year for me), until then the risk is higher
because of my father. I get it checked every 6 months. And my Urologist also is a
huge believer in TRT, shots every 4 days, levels to be high, but under 1,000.
I am no expert on the correlation of steroid use and prostate cancer, and I don’t think
anybody on this board is. I would recommend working creating a close relationship
with a well-respected Urologist and be up front and honest about your ‘usage.’ And
work with him / her moving forward to help mitigate any issues that might arise from
your usage.
I truly wish you, your Dad, family and friends, all the best moving forward as you
navigate these unknown waters. Stay strong, reach out to the PM community
when you need to (we care), but more importantly I think, if you can, be with them
when they go to the doctor; ask lots of questions, and learn as much as you can.
This is early in the process so don’t freak out, stay cool and take each days
as it comes.
