Can PC affect T-levels

Current age 71, RP in the summer of 2012 (4+3 , PSA 7, confined) , SRT mono summer of 2018 @ PSA .22 , PSA nadir reached at 11 mo. post treatment of .05 currently at .07. So things could be A LOT worse and I'm very grateful. My total T was 318.., 9mos before SRT, 242... 6 mos after SRT and now has leveled off at ~ 520ish. I know the relationship between PC and T is debated constantly but my question is can PC actually lower you T levels ?
