Based on what you said, the Lupron must be keeping the PSA numbers low and not the low testosterone level it creates. Your PSA level rose when Lupron was late, but testosterone was still low.

Actually, because of my BRCA2, even a slight rise in my testosterone can cause the PSA to start rising, And that would definitely happen if I’m late getting a Lupron shot. It’s sort of reinforce the fact that an extremely low testosterone is needed and intermittent use is not beneficial for everyone.
