I'm 56 years old. I've been on Eligard & Zytiga 19 for months. I'm there with you ready to quite. Heavy fatigue, weight gain, major cognitive issues and the newest is irritability.

@tonytone, it is so hard when the treatment intended to prolong life makes life suck! When treatment impacts your quality of life, there is a calculus that each patient makes with their team.

Have you discussed how this particular regimen is affecting you with your medical team? Let them know your reality, what is important to you, what options might be available and what are the pros and cons of continuing or stopping treatment.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I also started on ADT and ARSI at age 56 (I'm 59 now).

Is there any chance that a different combo might not hit you as hard? I'm tolerating Orgovyx and Erleada pretty well these days, but that's obviously a discussion to have with your care team, as Colleen suggests.
