Your running is really a major way to prevent fatigue. I can’t run, but I walk about 3 1/2 miles a day and go to the track across the street twice a day to walk a mile. I never noticed the fatigue issue.

I know that when I started Orgovyx After using Lupron for seven years, that my hot flashes stopped for about five months. Very strange, but They did come back.

I never gained any weight on Lupron, At the Advanced prostate cancer meetings I go to many people do complain about gaining weight. I’ve always had a tight control on my weight, reduce what I eat if I gain anything.

Besides running And resistance training, you might do some weightlifting, for bone and muscle strengthening. Your muscles can easily deteriorate. Maybe resistance training will do it. I’m not sure if it’s enough.

The brain fog takes a while to be noticed.

It does cause your bones to become weaker, A doctor who specialized in that area, in a webinar I was watching, said that everybody who is on ADT Should be on a bone strengthener like Fosamax, Xgeva or Zometa.

You are taking calcium and vitamin D? They are very important when on ADT drugs.

I'm with you on the weight. I'm pretty diligent and have actually lost a couple pounds since starting the Orgovyx. I've been on a high protein diet for a while now, and will continue that and cut back carbs if needed.

By resistance training I mean I do a combination: lift heavy weights twice a week, and do body weight and plyometrics another day.

I am taking calcium and Vitamin D. I'll talk to my MO about the other drugs you mentioned. Osteoporosis is one of my biggest concerns, but my MO said that's usually only a big problem for people on it long term, and I'm only on a 6-month course.

Hopefully I'll be done before brain fog sets in.
