Have you been getting blood test to tell you what your testosterone level is? You need to know this so you can see if it’s rising regularly. For some people, it doesn’t rise more than a little bit, for others. It comes back close to normal. A lot depends on how long you were on it And how old you are.

When I was 77 I stopped ADT for eight months, After being on it for six years. At that point, my testosterone hit 50 and was going up 20% a month. My oncologist wanted me to go back on it because I have a genetic problem. Just an example so you know it can return, Just don’t know how long it will take.

A doctor, I hear from once a month wrote this in his newsletter.

After 3 - 9 months of ADT nearly all men fully recover by about 10 months;
- After 18 - 24 months of ADT only 60% fully recover by about 3 years; and
- After 36 months of ADT exposure only 50% fully recover by ~ 5 years.

If your testosterone has not returned to a decent level >250 After a year or so, you can get testosterone injections, which can return you to normal. Whether or not you do, this is dependent on the aggressiveness of your prostate cancer. If it’s real aggressive, you don’t want to do it Since it can cause it to come back.
