When I went to the Pharmacy, I asked asked the Pharmacist if he might have any idea why my Dr. seems hesistant to want to do anything more. He said the only thing he could think of was the increased cancer chances. I also asked if it might be because of my other prescriptions/family risk, etc. - He couldn't say. I asked him if they had others with this script and if these dosages were working for them (he said he'd ask). I asked him why, after two years, this didn't seem to be working and all he could say is just maybe my skin doesn't absorb it.
What would the side effects/risks be that would cause my doctor to hesitate to go further? Just his lack of education on it? Looking above, I don't have any of the PSA/Prostate problems specified above...I like my Doc otherwise, but I'm getting aggravated enough to look for another...
