Kelly, The lab indicated the units as ng/mL. I thought it was similar to your numbers, off by a factor of 100. E.g., you mentioned castrate level is 50ng or less. I interpreted as 50ng/dL, or 0.5 ng/mL.
I have no idea if my interpretation is correct. That is the only way I could get the numbers to start making some sense for me.
As for my personal level, it certainly raised some red flags with the heart doctor (because of my cholesterol and high blood pressure), who did not know I was on hormones. He wanted me to see an endocrinologist immediately, marking on my records with a big bold "T-Level at 1.37ng/mL" message for the other doctors.
Incidentally, Kelly, have you gotten any updates on your T-level? Did it go down further since your last 120 ng results? If you don't mind, kindly please share an update.
