Has your T always been that low?

trregan in reply to Tall_Allen18 days ago

No....in July of '21 it was 500. In april '22, it was 275. Then radiation treatment and hormones. Now its 20 as of Feb '23! I have been complaining of fatigue and a drop in endurance!

You didn’t mention hormone treatment.

Yes, did Bicalutamide 50 mg for 4 weeks. Lupron shot and then the SBRT. Post radiation, I dealt with a lot of hot flashes, urinary pressure, etc. One t # to insert: 500 > 406 > 275 > 20 from 7/21 to now.

Thanks for all your help! Greatly appreciate the online conversation.

Hi. Great news. I finished radiotherapy in May 2022 and hormone therapy in August 2022. Asked on UK PC Forum what happens next and told "you become a teenager again". During treatment I had to fight low libido, now it's coming back. I am definately more horny and the other day had some great anal sex with a male friend (I'm bi-sexual) that resulted in an orgasm and ejaculation. I was totally surprised having had dry orgasms for years. Lost hair in pubic area and thinned out in other areas. Would like to lose rest of it as I love being smooth! Disappointingly, penis also shortened after I came off treatment, despite having followed advice on penile exercises and medication throughout treatment (now resumed exercises and meds). Next PSA test in a month's time. Enjoy your new horneyness!

I was diagnosed in April 2015. I had a 12 core biopsy and all were cancerous. I had 39 radiation treatments starting in June, '17 and running through August,17. I also had my first Lupron shot in April, and had a shot every 6 months until October 2017. My T-level fell to 14. The highest it has been since is 75. In spite of that, my libido has never been higher and I have the most intense orgasms of my life! The first one took me by surprise in its intensity. Unfortunately, they take forever and are dry (although, 5-10 minutes after, I do leak a small amount of semen. My PSA , starting in October, 2017 has been undetectable. While on the Lupron, I also lost most of my body hair and experienced hot flashes and fatigue. Those disappeared fairly quickly after ending the treatment, and my body hair returned. I did experience ED, and eventually (about a year ago) got a penile implant, which my husband and I both love!
