Obviously you have done a lot of research. I wish I could " direct you to a source/link that advocates its use under these circumstances.". You will not easily find doctors who practice TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) but it is being quietly done. For the past 60 years the concept of Dr. Huggins as testosterone being the cause of PCa is firmly written in stone. Most doctors do not question this.. However, this is slowly changing. Some independent thinkers who are not afraid of being ostracized are beginning to challenge this concept. These individuals reason, "Why young men with high testosterone levels do not get cancer and older men with steadily declining T evels do?" . Studies have shown that the estrogen levels in older men rise also and can be higher than those in women. Some theorize that estrogen dominance is the problem. (Workd of Dr. John Lee)
Roger Mason's book, Natural Prostate Cure, has a whole chapter on testosterone replacement and he mentions the sources Unfortunately, there are no web addresses. You have to do a lot of hard work to find the mentioned studies. I have not done that.
Dr. Bob Liebowitz. of Compassionate Oncology Medical Group (www.prostatepointers.org/prostate/leibowitz/). does use high dose T replacement but only after his patients have undergone 13 months of triple hormone blockage therapy (Casodex, Lupron & Proscar) with possible 3 month light chemotherapy thrown in. (This therapy is very harsh and is started even with Stage I PCa patients). My husband does not fit his criteria. He was on hormone blockage, first with Casodex and Lupron and then Lupron for 10 months only and now he is refractory.
I understand that Dr. Charles " Snuffy" Myers also uses T therapy. I have not visited his web site.
We do not want chemo or radiation, the next step in traditional medical protocol These treatments are palliative .and result in nasty side effects. So we are giving T therapy a try. Wish us luck

The things I've read so far have been uniform in cautioning against
testosterone supplementation for men known to have PCa. Can you
direct me to a source/link that advocates its use under these
circumstances?
