#1 - Stella Stone informs all of us her boyfriend has recently been castrated. She gives no specific reason for it, but goes into the psychology her boyfriend is experiencing, etc. but most concerns seem to be around him being able to perform sexually.
#2 - I say if it was testicular cancer he should be offered testosterone replacement.
#5 - Jesus says she has been given sound advice and goes into some detail.
#8 - Stella Stone replies to my Post #2 and says that yes, it was testicular cancer. Gives no indication in this post if the boyfriend has been offered testosterone or not. Seeks advice on finding younger eunuchs/castrated males as there would be a better connection.
#10 - Kristoff offers that seeking a testicular cancer survivors group would likely be more advantageous to helping her boyfriend than a prostate cancer support group.
#11 - I answer the list of questions she had for me in Post #8, and once again suggest testosterone replacement may be a solution, and that he should pursue such through his care team.
#13 - (this is where the story is starting to fall apart IMO) Stella comes back and says her boyfriend, "...
" which is the first indication he has been given any sort of testosterone replacement. Also, I see absolutely NO REASON a person who has testicular cancer would have been given chemical castration. The routine path for a guy with testicular cancer is removal of the testicle involved, or both if it's in both testicles. The story is inconsistent here due to this disconnect between chemical castration and orchiectomy for this particular cancer.StellaStone (imported) wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 12:16 pm has had severe negative reaction to testosterone just as he did to chemical castration.

#19 - Deaconblues says that testosterone wouldn't be prescribed due to it having a growth effect on some cancers (correct), however this is testicular cancer, the problem should have been removed when the testicles were, UNLESS the cancer had metastasized to another part of the body. This was unclear.
Stella has not been seen in this thread since Nov 15th, just before AccordingIP made his statement in #15. At this point while I'm not calling this an outright lie by Stella, it's not looking good, because the thread, as I noted in #16 had devolved to multiple members here giving advice, but there always being some reason that advice could not possibly work in the case identified. To me it has the hallmarks of a fabrication when the OP devolves into a, "Yes, yes, but..." routine with the very people who have knowledge of these things.
