Gents,

Completed EBRT/IMRT, bracyboost, and Lupron. Last Lupron was in early May; 3 mo duration. Nov 2019: PSA <.1 and T =7. So, your experience with return of T after radiation and ADT. I sure thought the T would be a tad higher 3 mos after Lupron.

It can take a year to rebound to baseline.

Thanks for the prompt response. Didn't realize it may take such a long time. Guess I'll have to adjust my expectations.

Btw, do you know why Lupron works so fast (within 2 wks, it "hit" me hard) but takes such a long time to dissipate? And, do you know what triggers the hot flashes?

Thanks,

Ed
