Wow, thank you! I'm really surprised neither doctor mentioned this. Maybe they're thinking a really low dose to ease the symptoms? Maybe I should just tolerate it until the year is up and I can do low-dose T replacement therapy. Just a bit bummed because I thought all the ADT side effects would be gone by now and they're still hanging on. Thanks again.

I am surprised they gave you a year. My oncologist insisted that he would never start me on T-replacement. I caught my cancer very early and had it removed. My family PA that treats all sorts of hormone issues told me she would allow me T-replacement if I had PSA of < .01 every 3 months for 3 years and had a PMSA scan that was clean. I did that and started T 2 years ago. Mine was 320 when I started and I keep it at about 650 to 700. My estradiol runs about 25-30. I use a cream. I feel much better but no help with erections.
