What Causes Blood Clots In The Lungs?

I was on Axiron until I had a blood clot in my left the caused blood clots in my lungs. The testosterone gave me energy? What can my doctor give me to help me with low energy now that I am not able to take the Axiron. I was on the Axiron due to stage 2 prostate cancer diagnosed in 2008 but cancer free now.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Axiron is testosterone pill.
It is hormonal pill. Any hormonal pill can worsen pulmonary embolism (PE).
So you should not take any hormone pill for prostate cancer.
No need to worry much as you are now cancer free.
Just take good diet (fruits, vegetables), protein powder and multivitamin tablets for energy.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
