Testosterone recovery after ADT

Well, here's the update. I'm now five months post Orgovyx and my second testosterone test showed a level in the 200s and well below normal. Other guys in my support group said they were up into the 500+ range in only a couple of months so I'm a definite outlier. I still can't have orgasms (almost six months now) but my doctors are split on this: one says it's because my T is too low, the other says that's just a thing that happens after SBRT and is permanent about 40% of the time (gee, thanks for warning me about that pre-treatment!). I've completely lost faith in my cancer care team and feel they 1. were never fully honest with me from the start about what side effects might occur and the high prevalance of them and 2. they like to give a lot of false hope by saying stuff like "things might still improve" or "let's wait awhile longer and see what happens." I'm taking six months off from ALL doctors--cancer, bone health, cardiologist, eye, dentist and mental health and then will revisit what I want to do.

I’m with you I’ll get PSA tests but that’s it , had a dental cleaning recently, they wanted to take x-rays said I’m done with that too , 60 plus yrs of dental X-rays and never did anything show up for concern.
