Testosterone recovery after ADT

Interesting. So, assuming my T comes back at all after ADT, is there some way to regulate it to stay within normal range but not go so high that it's cause for concern?

I don’t think most people have to regulate it, when yours comes back, I doubt it will be above 600. Even if it is above 400 though you should be getting regular PSA test to make sure it doesn’t come back. I was hearing from a guy two weeks ago who was talking about the fact that he took a couple of vacations from ADT and he now has multiple metastasis throughout his body. He was a Gleason nine, so Gleason is a factor, but even with a lower Gleason score, you need to be careful.

I suspect if you took monthly test for six or nine months and then went to bimonthly and then every quarter you could feel comfortable that it’s being watched for recurrence.

See what your doctor has to say, hopefully you have an informed oncologist you are working with.
