My testosterone recovered quickly after stopping ADT (Orgovyx) for Gleason 9 Stage 2 cancer confined to the prostate.

Prior to Orgovyx & radiation therapies, at age 71 my testosterone was 454.

After 11 months on Orgovyx my testosterone was practically non-existent (less than 6) and PSA was undetectable (< 0.01). Rather than continuing the recommended 18 months of Orgovyx, against medical advice I decided to take a "holiday".

Subjectively, after stopping Orgovyx I began to feel better after just a few weeks. More energy, better stamina, noticeable improvement.

2 months after stopping Orgovyx my testosterone test was 430 -- almost fully recovered! PSA was 0.26.

Then I restarted Orgovyx. 2 months later my testosterone was again practically non-existent (< 6) and PSA was undetectable (< 0.01).

Oncologist concluded "no evidence of disease".

So I stopped Orgovyx permanently. A year later, today my testosterone is 450 and PSA is 0.26. Very pleased!

@robertov, of course no one can predict exactly how long the process of recovery will be for YOUR testosterone. It's just a crystal-ball guess.

All that said, I believe your odds for a quick testosterone recovery are more likely if you're reasonably fit, exercise regularly, eat right and generally have a healthy lifestyle.

Best wishes.

@retiredboomer71 Many thanks. I’m 74 so we are in sinilar circumstances aas far as age and aggressive cancer confined to the prostate. I understand everyone is different. I can’t recall ever having my testosterone level checked.
