Testosterone recovery

Hi Stavros, I can't answer your question but know someone who can, I'll give them a nudge for you, All the best Ulls 

Hi Ulls

Appreciate your help on this

many thanks

Stavros, do you want the good news or the bad news?  Well, there's no bad news unless you include the dreaded ED.

It took over 13 months from last (6 monthly) Hormone injection to be hormone free.  My Oncologist took a Testosterone reading in February when I saw him for my 6 monthly check-up.  I thought it might be 4 or 5, but it came back at 21.8 (I must have a loose connection somewhere).  There is a bit of life coming back in the downstairs department.  It's taking it's time though.

I decided to just let it come back on it's own.  If it does, it does.  If not I will have a soft spot!  At least my libido is still very low, so I don't think about what I can't do.

I am 59 now, my PSA was down to 0.09 at the end of my Radiation treatment.  Now it has crept up a little to 0.25

Nothing to worry about yet! (if ever).  As long as I am under 2.0 I will be classed as being in Remission.

Hope this helped.  Thanks to Ulls who signposted you to me.

Hi again Ulls

Just read your story and can see you have really been through it - so thanks so much for taking interest in other peoples issues - although I have been through 2 treatments with recurrence my cancer remains localised so my story pales into insignificance compared with yours

best wishes

Thanks Steve

That is really helpful - I’ve been told that if my psa rises to 2 then they would look again so I will await to see how testosterone affects results. Like you I can’t stand to attention and have been given a vacuum pump which I’m not hopeful about. Yes it will be interesting though if libido returns!!

Stavros, I can sometimes stand to attention for a minute or so in the mornings! (if I am lucky).

Well that’s good sign I suppose - will keep in touch to check how our psa/testosterone results compare as time progresses 

Best Wishes

Stavros

No problem.  I suppose it will have it's ups and downs!
