Testosterone recovery after ADT in localised prostate cancer

Reading this makes me want to kill myself immediately. I'm on six months of ADT and was just told my testes are abnormal and I may not ever recover my testosterone. My ADT ends in October. If I don't have any T by the end of the year it's a bullet to the head for me. Thanks for posting...
