Hi Cara. I don't have a definite answer to when the results will be available, but I am to receive them. Since participants were given the option of continuing to use testosterone for 6 more months and will be contacted at the end of 6 months after completing the initial 8-week trial, likely the results should be available shortly after that. I know the trial itself was closed to new participants in February -- but some participants may have delayed actually starting a bit, as of course we all didn't start at exactly the same time. Also, there is some studying of information going on for 2 years from the date of start of participation.

What I don't know is whether the trial was designed for short exposure as a cautious approach for bc survivors, or whether it was designed to be short so that results would indicate that use of testosterone was ineffective. I just am not sure how accurately the trial will reflect whether using testosterone is helpful or not for bc survivors.
