I recently completed 38 radiation treatments 1 month ago and finished 6 months of orgovyx 2 weeks ago. My side effects from radiation were mostly fatigue and still are, more now than when I was in the middle of my treatments. The orgovyx effects will be with me for several more months, more hot flashes now than ever before ( maybe that is what is being felt), joint pain in my legs some days is overwhelming especially since I never stopped working, memory failure for stupid things like where I put my tape measure, some days I can sleep fine others not good at all. For me the worst side effects were definitely from the orgovyx, it did take a week or two to get my eating back to normal and bathroom stuff straighten out.

When I finished my radiation my doctor did tell me i would not be back to normal right away
I would absolutely ask your doctor, I had lots of questions for mine

I had seven weeks of radiation and didn’t find it caused any fatigue at all. I was not on hormone therapy at the time. Many people on the hormone therapy report, serious fatigue issues, Others don’t have it so bad or at all.

It could be the radiation that’s causing your fatigue, but orgovyx is a major culprit.
