I have to agree with you I think you should be on testosterone replacement. You finished HT because they thought it was safe for the testosterone to come back, for some reason it has not came back, but presumably they still think it would be safe if it did come back.

You were treated with curative intent, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary I think we should assume you are cured.

So as the lack of testosterone is causing problems I think it should be replaced.

Of course if cancerous prostate cells still exist, you may have a problem, but you know the risk and are prepared to take it.

I don't know what you do now, get a second opinion?
