Has anyone had a bi-lateral orchidectomy with no prescribed medications? If so, what happened to your PSA? Thanks

I had orchiectomy and PSA went down until I became castrate resistant.
Hi, I had a bilateral orchidectomy 12 months ago, no medications since. PSA still currently undetectable. (<0.05).
After being diagnosed with prostate cancer with metastasis to a local lymph node I chose bilateral orchiectomy. The surgery was March of 2021 and the PSA dropped to a nadir of 0.43 (from 248 at diagnosis) about a year later. It has since begun to rise and is now 1.54. I have used no meds since the surgery. My oncologist and I agree that at this point there is no need to begin androgen receptor antagonists though that will likely change within the next year.
Stop!!! You're making me hungry.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
