Yes, it presents the same risk. If they’re still cancer in your body, it’ll raise the PSA eventually. Natural reoccurrence is probably a lot Lower number than the shot of testosterone one gets. That could cause faster Recurrence.

This damned T question is really an enigma. We KNOW if fuels PCa, we KNOW it increases PSA, and we KNOW its absence reduces almost every biomarker associated with prostate cancer.
Yet, why don’t we get cancer in our 20’s or 30’s when T is highest? Why do most get it when their T is actually declining? How does bi-polar therapy really work on a cellular level?
Because the doctors have no answers to these simple questions (well, mine don’t - they chuckle) men will always be confused about this.
I’ve often wondered if any studies have been done on the T of cancer patients vs the T of cancer free patients. I despised organic chemistry, but I did learn that one ATOM or one extra methyl group or saturated bond will completely change the chemical properties of a molecule. Can our T change somehow and actually become the carcinogen or the initiator? My head hurts thinking about these sorts of things but all of us want to know the ‘WHY’ more than anything…
