Labs
Testosterone virtually non-existent all tests total, free, whatever lower than cis- females.
Estradiol 124.3 pg/ml this should be an accurate level test was about 12 hours after last dose.
Other labs taken (normal checkup or for cancer screening) appear to indicate, I am still alive and kicking. Nothing to worry about there. More appointments Oncologist, ct scan, mental health pill pusher etc happen early next month. Yep, it's getting to be glow in the dark time again. At least they won't be calling the wrong name this time. My VA name change was finally done. I even received my corrected VA ID in the mail today.
I am officially switching to estradiol valerate. It is ordered, along with syringe and needles. I anticipate having to have needles and syringe changed, due to my doc not being sure what to order. I need to wait to see what I get, then, I'll need to help him get the correct stuff ordered. Once, I have the drugs and the correct paraphernalia, I will begin my pain in the butt regimen. I would impart the dosage, but as everyone knows, such information is verboten. My next change to work on, will be to get off spirolactone. I have been taking a half of my original dose for about a year now. I will be lobbying my doc to either let me reduce it by half again or eliminate it altogether.
nothing more to add
