Prostate Cancer Gleason 6 Group 1 + Hypogonadism

@bobgolf Between the time my original Urologist took me off of Testosterone until the Urologist at Moffit Cancer Centers put me back on, was at least four months. My T levels went down to 51! I couldn't swing a golf club or function normally. I was a mess. This cancer is very slow growing, so we have time. Like you, I will be proactive if and when there is an increase. Statistically, I may be more likely to die of old age before this cancer becomes a real issue. So I too have learned to just live with it.

@floridanad your situation sounds similar. I went off the T for about 2 weeks to see what would happen and had my levels tested. I also went below 50. I mainly get fatigued easily, need a nap, no interests in sex at all, just a tired guy. So I am hopeful I can stay on the T as long as possible but understand the day may come when my prostate cancer dictates otherwise.
