This is a question you need to ask a nurse at the ROS helpline. If she cannot help she will be able to point you in the right direction of someone who will.

Hi! Testosterone alone will not replace the bone that you have lost. You need bone meds to build your bone score up again.depending how low your bones have got will determine if you have to take them for life or not.
