I’m in your basic position as far as the cancer and treatment. My was stage 4 when it was discovered in May 2022. I’ve been on Lupron and Erleada for about eight months. The fatigue was terrible for about six months but after that I feel relatively normal. Definitely not as much energy as pre treatment, but much better. I’m the daycare for my three year old grandson and I doubt I would be able to keep up with him anyway, being 68. Lupron is supposed to make you gain weight and Erleada is supposed to make you lose weight, but I honestly haven’t noticed any change in appetite or metabolism. It sounds like you are a bit overwhelmed, which I understand. One thing that has helped my anxiety is drinking green tea first thing in the morning. I still have my coffee and everything else but the green tea really evens out my stress. I hope this helps.

Thank you for the advice. For years I have been drinking 1 cup of coffee in the morning and 1 cup of green tea with honey in the evening. My stress issue is being a caregiver for my other half which at times drives me crazy. Also the chief cook and bottle washer for everything else in running a household. No help from her kids. Finding it hard to rest during day. Starts at 7am and ends at 11pm. Plus caring for q dog and 3 cats. Dog is 16 and sleeps with us. He gets up every 2-3 hours and have to get up to put him back in bed. I am having my GP run a lab on me the end of March. If my psa is well below the last (0.4), I am going to see if the Doc will drop Eligard but continue Xtandi at the next intervals in July.
