This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Not sure what your radiologist is talking about when he says "rebound". I assume he means a return to post treatment testosterone levels. I believe it is very rare that a man would not return to post treatment testosterone levels after only 4 months of ADT.
Keep in mind that all the recent studies have shown a benefit to combining hormone therapy with radiation. There is still some question about the optimal time to start and complete it.
It took me well over a year to rebound. Libido has not return to pre ADT level. I was 62 and I now feel great. I will feel even better if the salvage radiation and ADT cured the cancer. Only time will tell. It's been 2 years.
