HRT Approved

I had an appointment yesterday, May 20, with a second endocrinologist.  Earlier this year, I was turned down by another doctor who gave me a bunch of BS reasons she wouldn't approve it.  I came home that day and was laying on the bed with a pillow over my head screaming and crying.  After that, I just laid and stared at the wall for three or four hours.  It was a very dark time for a week or two.  That changed yesterday.  I had a 2:30 appointment and was called back exactly at 2:30!  Yeah, I know.  Amazing, right?  The nurse took my vitals and very shortly, a younger doctor came in.  She told me she worked with the doctor I was seeing and she wanted to get some background.  She was looking through my file, mentioned the letter from my therapist also recommended an orchiectomy.  I told her it was already done on 4/26.  So she did some evaluation of my health, then went and talked to the main endocrinologist.  I told my wife I wasn't happy she didn't mention blood tests and didn't have a good feeling.  My wife simply said a prayer.  So the older doctor comes in with the one who had evaluated me.  He sits and talks for a couple of moments and says he sees no reason I shouldn't start HRT.  When I was turned down by the other doctor, I started crying in her office and when he said he was approving me, I started crying again although for a totally different reason.  We also talked about my therapist and he seems to have a very high opinion of her plus we talked about Southern Comfort Conference which he went to last year.  So anyway I had to go down stairs to the clinic for them to draw blood to check baseline hormone levels, check kidney and liver functions.  If everything comes back ok, he will send a prescription for estrogen to my pharmacy, probably the middle of next week.  I have had both kidney and liver function tests in the last six months so I know they will be ok.  So next week, God willing, I will be on a starting low dose HRT.  I see the endo again in four months and we will up the dosage.  Look out world!
