3 years Post-VRMAT-RT & ADT

After 3 years my PSA went from 20.3 μg/L down to <0.01 μg/L and Testosterone from 438.04ng/dL down to 60.52 ng/dL 🙈🙉🙊. As of July 07, 2023.

How much longer do I have to wait for a more normal Testosterone Totale. I like my PSA that low but a little bit higher. Recently I fell and broke 6 ribs on the right side.

THANKS A LOY.

👍👍👍

There’s a pretty good chance your T is never coming back to normal levels. Mine didn’t.

Sorry to hear about your fall hope you make a full recovery. Regarding your testosterone, as far as I know it depends on a mans age ,the length of time he was on ADT and his testosterone level before APCa treatment . In short, it varies with individuals. I had a Blood test last March my T was 253.8ng/dL, that was my first test since my treatment ( LUPRON ) stopped June 2022. Im 66 yrs old. Best Wishes

Yesterday (2023/01/03) I saw my chest doctor and I had a chest X-Ray which showed one rib still broken.

So when I cough or take a deep breath, it hurts like hell.
