No. Prostate Cancer is not the “good one”

@heavyphil - surgery was not an option for me, my primary tumor grew outside the prostate as well as metastasized to dozens of regional and distant lymph nodes. Radiation plus ADT made me feel like a zombie, although fatigue is back to ADT-only levels now that I'm 10 days post-radiation. The calendar says I'm 51, but I feel like I have aged 10-15 years in the past six months.

Geez, 51 yrs old and it had already spread…that’s awful and there’s no way to sugar coat it. It sucks. The radiation was OK for me until it was over…THEN it hit me.
The fatigue was incredible and lasted for 3 months. I couldn’t even keep up my regular exercise routine - and didn’t care either.
I hope you start feeling better; our bodies have an amazing ability to cope and adapt and sometimes our rational mind - so impatient - needs to give the larger organism a chance to catch its breath and get in sync with the new norm.
Peace, brother
Phil
