I thought that I would be the last person in the world to use anabolic steroids. I don’t hang out at the gym. I don’t pump iron. I am just not into that kind of thing. Plus, I have no desire to be all big and buff. I’m not overweight or anything though. In fact I love to run. Half marathons are my favorite, but you’ll also find me competing in 5K and 10K events too.

But things kind of fell apart for me when I went in for a routine physical several months ago. The doctor found something that will make any guy get about as depressed as possible. I had something wrong with my family jewels. So they ran some tests and lo and behold I had full blown testicular cancer. Two thirds of what makes me a man had to be removed. And yes, I have heard all the funny little remarks that go along with this nutty kind of thing.

So since I no longer produce testosterone on my own, I needed an alternative. After all, without testosterone, things really do change, particularly when it comes to things like sex drive. And that right there is the story of how and why I take steroids.
