Hello Radar, as far as I can see, you have finished treatment and you have no evidence of disease (NED)?
Is that correct?
If so, BAT isn't appropriate, since you aren't on hormone therapy. Assuming you were diagnosed T3b before the radiotherapy, they will have included the seminal vesicles in the target volume, so the radiotherapy should have destroyed the cancer there.
I think you need to say (based on what you say here) that the low T is significantly impacting your quality of life. Current research suggests that correcting low T after a curative prostate cancer treatment with NED doesn't increase the chance of the cancer returning. However, low T increases your risk of cadiovascular issues, diabetes, and is giving you osteoporosis and muscle wasting. Please can you be referred to an Andrologist to investigate getting your T level back to normal with TRT if necessary? This is why we don't keep men on a curative treatment path on hormone therapy indefinitely, but to some extent, this is what's happened to you.
PSA will be monitored in any case, and if it goes above the expected level, then you would be taken off any TRT.
