Is this true Denis
“ suspect his testosterone is being measured in nmol/L, not ng/dl. So you would multiply ny 28.8 to convert. So 1.7 would be about 49”

If that is true, and that is what is happening, then I can see why the doctor wants to remove the testicles. He could try putting you on Zytiga instead of Erleada. It does reduce testosterone further than ADT, but that may not be enough. I’ve only heard of one or two other cases like this where the testosterone doesn’t get dropped to at least below 20.

Yes, Jeff, iti is true

Erleada must drop level of testosterone? Erleada working 8 month and instead drop level testosterone his level slowly grow. I reading that

I read that if testosterone levels aren't reduced, then testicular surgery should be performed as a backup. This means that ADT can't combat cancer. The initial PSA level was too high.

I'll get my testosterone and PSA levels tested in two weeks and talk to my doctor.

In any case, I'm already mentally preparing for death, because I understand that ADT isn't working properly, despite lowering my PSA to zero.

Slowly up testostetone (when PSA =0) means hormone-resistant version of cancer and the fact that I have 2-3 years left to live, maximum
