Hi @lloyd12345, that is a great question for your doctor. Every patient is different. Testosterone might be okay for one person and not for another. You might be interested in joining the discussions with other men with prostate cancer in the Prostate Cancer group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/prostate-cancer/

I'm confident others will be willing to share their experiences with choosing to take testosterone or not after prostate cancer treatments.
