Re: testosterone - CAN IT HELP?

Sorry I can't help Flori, a friend of mine was on testosterone shots or pills to give her a break from chemo when her cancer was very advanced. Obviously the cream would have far less side effects or risk factor's but she was warned her voice would get lower and facial hair would increase.
It did relieve a lot of her symptoms though as her body was worn out from eleven years of chemo.
Hope someone can help you and do sympathize, thankfully despite my early ooph and tx vaginal dryness is one side effect I've managed to dodge so far
