It depends how long it takes for the testosterone to recover and if that does recover at all after three years of ADT. Some doctors will do a testosterone replacement therapy when asked for it.

There are off-label drugs like Toremifene or Tamoxifene which can increase the testosterone too.

I hope the radiation cured him. It may take a few months for his testosterone to recover so that his hot flashes go away.
