Wayne, when talking to my Oncologist and seeing his data and also from reading messages here on the boards I see that it is known that Lupron is an energy drain for most men. It does so for me. Understandable as we no longer have testosterone. Lupron is our effective blockade against recurring cancer. How tolerable Lupron is for each individual is purely an individual situation. Some of us are destroyed by it others have little effects. But fatigue appears to be the common adverse condition. I am now understanding a bit of this therapy routine. The cause of Prostate Cancer is, as of yet, unknown so there is no guaranteed cures. Lupron buys us time - and time is precious. Time is life.
So from what I am reading I see that I have to start an exercise regimen. Small price to pay for time.
