    doc asking for bloodwork, will he find deca?

    I have a peptic ulcer that the doctor is going to draw bloodwork for to see if I have the h.plyori bacteria.

    Is he going to see deca in that bloodwork?

    If it's not your TRT doc(if your on TRT) then No... it's a special test(very expensive for a steroid test) unless he said he was checking your T levels...

    Deca is deca, test is test. One won't read as the other.

    He just said routine blood work. We didn't do hormone levels last time, I don't see why he would this time.

    He's checking for H. Plyori. So what I'm hearing is it's all clear.

    I had to have an endoscopy for them to figure out I had H Plyori. Not much fun..

    Shouldn't be an issue.

    That is what my girlfriend keeps recommending, to make sure it is not cancerous instead of "assumed" ulcer. But doc ordered bloodwork. It all happened around heavy use of ibuprofen anyway, so that seems to be the most likely cause. Labs should be back in a few days.
