You’re absolutely right, each of our bodies is unique. Measuring testosterone levels doesn’t seem to be part of the standard treatment protocol here in India; my doctor never suggested it, and I’ve never had it tested. Perhaps such considerations don’t hold much relevance for Indian doctors; they’re usually content as long as the PSA remains under control. But I have a pretty good idea what the result would be; my body tells me it’s still zero, even a year after stopping the drugs!

@samidh From what I’ve read, testosterone comes back or doesn’t depending on age, general health and length of time on the drugs. My first time was six months and testosterone came back after three. I am hoping that since this last time I was on them for three years, my testosterone will be normal in 1 1/2 years. It is 100 after one year. 200-700 is considered normal.
