Testing testosterone levels ?

Hi WW - I only found out mine at a routine blood test before my Radiotherapy, it's not been checked before. It's 0.6!. I checked with Mr Google and it's almost at the bottom of the scale for a woman - mind you I have been on HT for 14 months so to be expected.

If you don't mind me saying - as a man - there are plenty of was other than having the level of testosterone measured in your blood that indicate it's very low - I will let you use your imagination!!!

I always asked for testosterone to be tested along with PSA all the way through treatment and for 2 years afterwards.  Between 6 to 9 months after all treatment had finished it started to return to readings within normal levels but quite low - just as my rad.onc had said it would and it worried me at first when it started to rise but told that is exactly what should happen and it should get back to within normal levels.   For info PSA 13 Gleason 7(4+3)  T2 possibly 3 N0M0 at diagnosis.  2 weeks bicalutamide, 9 months Prostap3 HT injections and 1 month of RT  back in 2016/17.  At present still with undetectable PSA.

My GP refused to check testosterone as it was an expensive test!

Hi, it's understandable that you are concerned about testosterone levels and their impact on health. It's great that you discussed this with an oncologist for insight. It's important to remember that medical professionals may have varying opinions based on their expertise and experiences. Ultimately, it's up to you and your husband to make informed decisions about his health.
