Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / March 2005What are normal testosterone levels
My Lupron injections for PCa were as follows: 4-27-2004 One month shot 5-27-2004 Three month shot 8-27-2004 Three month shot My testosterone test on 1-31-2005 as 52. My questions are: 1.What is a normal testosterone level/range for a 65 yo male. 2.How long does it usually take to achieve normal testosterone levels after stopping Lupton.

AIUI, that depends upon the individual man. Strum does write that, if a man has been on ADT for >two years, he may see a delay in recovery of T, or possibly even failure of recovery. At www.prostate-cancer.org/resource/pdf/Is5-1.pdf there is a case history of a man whose T returned to normal ten months after ADT was stopped. Regards, Steve J > My Lupron injections for PCa were as follows: > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Biff The normal range on my test report is listed as 240 to 950. I spent a total of two years on Lupron using 4 month shots and was off it for two months on 12/1/04 when my first testosterone test result came back 92. I'm age 62. The next test will be about 6/1/05. To help speed up the return of testosterone, my strategy is to study the diet and exercise of a muscle builder and adopt what I find convenient. I received no information about testosterone from my radiation oncologist or my uro and didn't ask. John Lason |
