@guybe | As for the 260s being "low T", I think it's kind of at the low end of normal. |
This is the part that confuses me. A chart I saw about T recovery post ADT showed only 50% recovery but they considered 350 to be recovery. Some places use 300 as low normal. The Orgovyx web site considers 280 to be recovery and I assumed they fiddled with the numbers to make themselves look better. The test at my cancer center uses 300 but the urologist I went to see for a different opinion said 250 is low normal. The ads I constantly get tell me 800 is optimal but that seems like the high end of the scale. I guess that's why the urologist said to go by how I feel more than a specific number.

@scottbeammeup The "low" threshold range you noted as 250 to 350 looks like the textbook definition of "ballpark". That's appropriate for an estimate where there's no distinct threshold at which very bad things happen, but they've got to say something. (Like when you fall from a 10-story roof, your health is perfectly fine until you touch the next thing. Very boolean. There's nothing like that here, so opinions will vary. And everyone will have one.) I do love it that the "ads" say 800 is optimal. Of course they would; they're ads, and we must all have some deficiency that their product can cure. Especially when it touches the heart of male insecurity. That kind of made my morning! Good luck, man.
