My PSA did not drop after surgery. Had three positive lymph nodes pelvic region. They were gone after 39 sessions of radiotherapy. Took Eligard for 3.5 years. Testosterone very low: 20. Undetectable PSA and 4 years in remission. Still struggle with some fatigue and urinary incontinence. Waiting for T levels to go up to feel better. No power in my legs. Difficult to lose weight. Diagnosed at 65. I am 70 now. It has been rough but I look at my kids and wife and I keep going. PC is beatable. Absolutely.

You probably won’t recover testosterone naturally after being on ADT that long.

So are you still taking the eligard? You and my husband have a similar story. He is 62. He had a radical prostatectomy and then 40 days of radiation. He has been on ADT 2 yrs this June. He is considering getting off of it because with his back issues and fatigue he can’t do much of anything. I read that 18-24 months has optimum results. Just hoping cured and that psa will remain the same if he discontinues.
