Your doctors are not up to date about testosterone. There are articles all over the internet pointing out that testosterone does not feed prostate cancer but instead controls it. A few studies are listed below:

While this is true in advanced cases. People who are newly diagnosed with prostate cancer benefit greatly from testosterone deprivation. It also may be true if someone has been undetectable for a long period of time and their testosterone has not come back to normal levels.
This is information provided by the Mayo clinic
ADT dramatically lowers or blocks testosterone levels in the body to slow down or stop the growth of prostate cancer. Because prostate cancer cells rely on male hormones (androgens) like testosterone to grow and multiply, starving the cancer of this hormone causes the tumor to shrink or grow much more slowly
