Exercise Oncology...what say you?

The good news: Yesterday, 3 weeks after HDR Brachy and a month after starting Xtandi (plus another Eligard injection), I worked up to about 90% of my weightlifting routine. That is, about 90% of what I was lifting a month ago.
The bad news: I took 3 naps yesterday, and was in bed by 8:30 p.m.
Apparently I also took two morning showers, because I had forgotten that I already took one.
I'm more-or-less OK until 11 a.m., then it's Drowsyville.
But I'm going to keep moving.

Xtandi (Enzalutamide) causes severe fatigue problems for some people. Switching to Nubeqa (Darolutamide) Eliminates that problem For most people, And it works just as well. It also doesn’t pass the blood brain barrier so it has no effect on your memory.
I may take a 20 minute nap in the afternoon every few days But I stay up till midnight and get up right around 6:30 AM. I use a timer so my naps don’t go over 25 minutes and it usually really refreshes me. I am on Orgovyx and Nubeqa, and at 77 I don’t have much fatigue.
Talk to your doctor, see what he/she thinks after presenting your information.
