How long can you be on Xtandi?

The biggest problem with Xtandi (Enzalutamide ) Is that some people can’t handle the side effects. Some people get a tremendous amount of fatigue or other issues. Nubeqa (Darolutamide) like fewer side effects, and works essentially the same.
If you have issues with Xtandi you can switch to it.

I currently take darolutamide, along with a Trelstar injection every six months. Doing the combination for 8 months now. The fatigue fluctuates day to day, For example, I woke up yesterday feeling mostly normal (you are never completely normal on ADT) . I lifted weights at the gym and felt good all day. Today was different, I woke up feeling bad, like a hangover, had my usual cup of coffee and still did not feel well. Decided to fight the feeling and went out for a walk, after about a mile I started feeling better and better as I walked. After a good 3 mile walk, hilly where I live, I felt great. My point is, unless you are very active the fatigue will set in and you will just feel bad. My docs tell me I am doing well and to stay active and exercise. The exercise also improves your mental outlook.
