Acceptance of Prostate Cancer and its side effects

As we all know, side effects suck. I've had chemo, hormone, some bone strengthening injection, taking Abiraterone and prednisone. Not really by choice but my focus ends up on the side effects, not why I have to take the meds. I've never been good at handling the heavy stuff. For me it's easier to focus somewhere else. I have wonderful wife of almost 48 years and a great Oncologist. I let them handle the heavy stuff. I work at a rehab center doing maintenance work. I'm surrounded by caring coworkers. My focus tends to be what repairs I need to make. It keeps me happy, if I was to dwell too much on my problem I would be in trouble. This didn't really stop me from doing anything, I'm a home body anyway, of course I get fatigued but who knows, maybe it's partly from my age. I remind myself,, my body gets worn down but my mindset is going good. I hope all the best for everybody.

I too take abiraterone and prednisone.....250mg/5mg each morning with a low fat breakfast. My butt shot is ZYTIGA/TRELSTAR every 3 months....I get up and feel fine til about 1130am...then its rest time....once I get an hour of rest in or sleep, I m good to go the rest of the day....Low T causes this fatigue I think.
