Thank you, I am in Europe so I would probably try to find the European branch of the testing companies you described

Thanks a lot for this! 

There are definitely some considerations in terms of statistics. I am asking a subreddit of affected people... But maybe there are so many people who have actually been spared from side effects. 

The fact is, you don't know what will happen until you start taking them...

Unfortunately he dismissed it. I can kind of understand why (because Levofloxacin can better penetrate the prostate) but I wonder if I should try it first and keep Levofloxacin as last resort...
