Testosterone levels are rising after cessation of ADT

I’m no expert but how can your T be approaching normal levels if you’ve been on ADT for 18 months? What does your Doc say?

I had the same result after 13 months of Lupron. I was also on darolutamide, which I've continued alone for subsequently 18 months. I assume the darolutamide is blocking utilization of T. My PSA is < 0.1.

I was on Lupron(adt) for 2 years... I also was on casadex for 2 years. I had radiation therapy first.
I did not have my prostate removed.
Gradually after 18 months of no ADT my testosterone levels returned to normal.
My psa has risen slowly to .09 but my oncologist says that is to be expected as testosterone levels return .
I have been assured that I have no biochemical recurrence at this time.
I am 4 years after my initial diagnosis . Hope this helps
