Hey BuiDoi.....there is a new line of thinking backed by research that points to low levels of testosterone, and an estrogen-dominant endocrine system as being non-protective against PCa, (which flies in the face of conventional thinking and treatment). My "T" levels are low, but just inside the low range of normal. My iron/ferritin levels were tested about 3 months ago, and I was very,very low, leading my MD to order suppplementation, or possibly face anemia if it continued. Hemachromatosis is the opposite end of the iron spectrum and has it's own problems. You post your serum iron sat., but have you had your ferritin level tested (stored iron)?
So, I never had a baseline level for "T" or iron before surgery, yet after surgery, I'm low in both...........did that happen overnight either coincidentally, or incidentally? Or did I have low levels of both that didn't protect against PCa? Jury is still out on how that's all connected. I'm currently trying to bring my iron, B-12, D-3 and zinc levels up to optimal range, and if I post an undetectable PSA at the 2-yr mark (1/11), my uro is willing to administer bio-identical "T" supplementaion, while closely watching PSA levels.
