The paradox of testosterone and ADT

My testosterone levels were below minimum threshold for a few years before the cancer was detected. Given the scarcity of testosterone, it still managed to establish and grow itself. I am assuming it had to find other sources of nourishment, or the tumor made its own testosterone. That explains its high PSA count as well as cribriform cells. Cutting off testosterone would, arguably, make the tumor more aggressive. No?

Didn’t we talk about this once before? Your testosterone doesn’t need to be even a couple hundred for prostate cancer to be very happy. Yours was well within that range if remember the number you originally posted.
