Can i have hormone replacment after brachytherapy for prostate cancer i get very tired and run down have triuble sleeping am very moody ?

No: Don't take testosterone. You are receiving therapy for your prostate cancer. The goal for prostate cancer therapy is to decrease your testosterone level. If you take testosterone, it is almost like pouring fuel to the fire- you are just going to feed the cancer cells. Talk to your md and ask for help. Keep active and exercise. Your md also has to rule out other causes of your problem above.
