mmm.

After Docitaxel, my doctor prescribed ADT—an injection every three months (Zolodex 10.8). After seven months, my testosterone levels began to rise, and I was prescribed a different drug and a more aggressive method—one every 28 days. My testosterone levels slowly plateaued, and it was at that point that I intuitively decided to reduce my physical activity, which led to a sharp drop in my testosterone levels by 1.5 times.

My doctor said the new ADT is cumulative. Furthermore, I should note that my PSA level, after chemotherapy and on my previous ADT, had plateaued at 6.2 and didn't drop until Erleada and the switch to the other ADT. Plus, almost in despair, I began reducing my physical activity and drinking green tea and licorice root in huge quantities. And finnally I lowered my cholesterol levels several times and my lipids (they returned to normal) by starting to take statins. In a panic, I did something else, I don’t remember what.

A month ago, I had my biochemistry tests done, and my doctor said the results were excellent (knock on wood).

Of course, I admit that the decrease in testosterone isn't related to physical activity and is a result of the more aggressive ADT, but testosterone levels fluctuate throughout the day. They peak early in the morning and begin to decline throughout the evening. My last testosterone test was at 9 a.m., and each time, I took it at the same lab.
