Anyone have testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) after ADT?

@jeffmarc I’ve read research suggests trt works for a selective group of men.
Dr. Morgentaler concluded it is safe and effective in treating castrate-resistant prostate cancer, with around 30%–40% of patients experiencing positive responses. I haven’t seen any definitive information on which select sub group will be part of the 30-40%. How does one decide when the odds are less than 50%?

if your PSA starts to rise significantly then it is probably not a good idea.
It can kill off the castrate resistant cells with the high dose of testosterone but the cells that aren't resistant can grow quick with the increased T.
If you have a genetic issue it may not be advisable. BRCA2 can really get accelerated growth so can other genetic problems.
