    I was 60 years old when I got a medical examination through my American company,
    The report highlighted a high PSA of 6.4 which I ignored, because I did not know what PSA was.
    When I was 76 years old after many wonderful years in retirement, I visited a doctor because of many visits to the toilet during the night.....My PSA was found to be 11.4 and after an MRI and Biopsy, a tumour was found localised in my prostate with a gleeson score of 4/3 which is intermediate cancer.
    Because of my age, my surgeon said that I was too old and my prostate too big for an operation, so it was radiotherapy and 6 months hormone therapy.
    Today 7 months after radiotherapy I am almost back to normal and enjoying life again after the side effects wore off, including getting erections etc
    I still feel tired sometimes but I suspect my testosterone levels are slowly returning to normal...I hope so anyway.
    PSA is very low and I hope it stays that way....

    Absolutely on Target. I was low T and moderate 7.1 PSA - but a staggering Gleeson 10. Followed this formula by getting my T benchmarked and tested prior to surgery after reading "Saving your sex life" and following all the guidelines. I Agree 100% that "T" is not the ugly element in PCa - and stopped all ADT post-surgery. Now monitor PSA and 3 years out - Zero PSA and "normal T" 6 months after ADT stopped. This was strange as I did not have TRT - but "T" was back into normal range? Will now start testing "T" in conjunction with my PSA which I continue to monitor 3 monthly. Thank you for this information - really helpful and informative.

    As far as Active Surveillance, If low testosterone is bad for Active Surveillance, would it be advantageous to go on TRT during Active Surveillance to get testosterone to a healthy level?

    Decades of research and nobody doing huge studies on this is remarkable. All seems pretty obvious to me. Of course your psa is not accurate if your a cancer survivor and your testosterone hasn’t recovered.

    "Equivocal"???

      He probably meant "equivalent", "similar" or "comparable".

      Yes, that's a word in the medical field.

      @@EmranAskari No, he didn't. But it means equivalent. It is just a snooty way we in healthcare say things. LOL.

      open to more than one interpretation; ambiguous.
