Testosterone levels are rising after cessation of ADT
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: Sep 20 9:30pm | Replies (30)Comment receiving replies
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

Sorry Mike, but you stated that your ‘ADT is continuous’ in one post and then ‘on ADT now in month 18’ in another…??
But now you say you’ve been OFF ADT for 18 months…can you see my confusion?
But no matter, I am glad that after you being off ADT for 18 months your T is back to normal and PSA is staying low - the BEST combo there is!
Thanks for the clarification!
