Is anyone going with hormone therapy alone?

My husband had Proton therapy 6 years ago for prostate cancer. Had no problems with it but cancer returned 5 years later. Surgery is not an option per his doctors advice because of the previous radiation, bad out ways the good. He is going through hormone therapy using ORGOVYX. He is having frequent hot flashes he says he can deal with however I see him going through extreme tiredness, not feeling like himself, and depression. (He has been on meds for depression for years.) I hate seeing him not being able to do things like he use to. Gets extremely tired after an hour or so of work. He is 76 by the way. Anyone else going through this and have any advice?

The tiredness and depression may be feeding off of each other. Try scheduling several small naps during the day, (like after lunch); establish an exercise routine, even if it's just half hour walks. Plan a trip somewhere to give him something to which he can look forward.
