Orgovyx and the timeline for return of normal testosterone level

I don't take this particular med but I don't understand the wanting to get the testosterone level back up. I was told it feeds the cancer. My level is listed at < 3 and hopefully it will stay there. I'm 69 so it's okay by me. When Oncologist said treatment could lower the testosterone level, both me and my wife just laughed. Yes I have the turtle in the shell effect but as long as I can find before wetting my shorts, is good to go. Sorry if I'm missing the point, sometimes it takes me a while to get there. Best to all

Testosterone has many functions besides taking care of libido, Maintaing and building muscle and bone mass, and red blood cell levels. I can already feel the difference with stair climbing, strength, and fatigue. Besides regaining healthy libido, the extra energy and less bone pain has been noticible.

My oncologist said to me to stop the LUPRON/ Trelstar injections after a year and watch PSA levels. Maybe the cancer could go back into remission again if PSA stays low. That’s my interpretation of what he told me. I ll know more in a week when I see my med. oncologist again.
