I just had my hormone level tested post treatments ( 4 months ) and my hormone level is 25. (uugg)
My body aches very weak . Also having skin breakout.
I'am doing lights weights to rebuild .
Trying to find a way to increase my hormone / testosterone level.
I take B12 also taking D and calcium for my bones after finding out I have a -2.8 bone density from my cemo treatments.

You can also take testosterone injections. You need to speak to your doctor about this because for some people that can cause a quick PSA rise and bring the cancer right back. Since you have had chemo, your case must be pretty aggressive, so testosterone may not make sense for you.
The question is, Is your PSA rising at a good rate every month? I was on ADT for seven years and stopped taking it, After four months, my PSA was 29 but it was going up 25% a month. At that rate within a couple of years, it would’ve been pretty high.
