Serious hormone question?!
Question: I just underwent chemotherapy for cancer and one of the side-effects was that it stunted my production of testosterone. Basically that means less muscle, higher voice, etc etc. In other words, I'm more girly than I used to be. Is there a safe way I can replace the hormones I lost during chemo?? It's really bothering me quite a bit.

If you are suffering because of this and your physician can show lower levels of testosterone by blood work then a prescription for testosterone would (likely) be covered under many insurance plans.
There is no way I know of to increase testosterone levels to the level you seem to possibly need without an actual testosterone formulation. Talk to your oncologist and/or primary care doc and ask them about it - and good luck!
