3 years ago in October started Lupron shots. Effective until Jan 2025. Very little side effects. Now added Xgeva and Xtandi. These have given extreme fatigue.
Best of luck.

Ask to switch to Nubeqa (Darolutamide). It works just as well and doesn’t have the fatigue problem that you get with Xtandi (Enzalutamide). I’ve been using it for a couple of years and I know a lot of other people using it and it works very well.

It also doesn’t pass the blood brain barrier, and therefore causes less Brain fog.
