Might fatigue be a symptom of prostate cancer?

This got me thinking and I’m gonna share it with the whole group also.
The problem with symptoms is they are very vague. I mean, what is “fatigue”?

I work out and get tired.
My job can be very physical at times and wear me out.
My job can also be very boring, lots of windshield time, makes me tired, especially on sunny days.
The rare time I watch tv during the day, I sometimes get sleepy.
…But I recover from each and every one easily. I may have to fight staying awake at work, but as soon as I’m out of the truck, I’m totally fine.

I can give dozens of examples and I’m sure others could too. But what exactly does disease related fatigue look like?
And not just fatigue, many symptoms are vague.

Symptoms are vague because they vary so much.

I was working with one guy who would wake up in the morning and have to go back to sleep for three hours because he was so tired. He was heavily into woodworking, but he would be too tired to do it a lot of of the time.

Other people feel the fatigue most of the day, Though actually doing exercises can offset the fatigue.

Some people have a great amount of fatigue in the afternoon or early evening and need to go to sleep.

There’s just a wide range of symptoms.
