My husband Gleason 4/4 no metastasis.
Post 44 radiation 30 days and first injection Lupron done in April stamina down 50 %.
How r u coping with fatigue?
My husband also gets over whelmed easily.
Next month they want him to start him on alberiterone and prednisone.
His argument is if the radiation killed the tumor, why more adt?
Have u had any systemic affects from radiation they haven’t told u about that we should know?
Thanks for replying.
God bless and heal you!

I thought I would bounce back after the chemo and radiation. However, I didn’t. Then I read that it can take up to a year and some side effects can be permanent.

After a couple months I started feeling more motivated. Unbeknownst to me, my wife started adding in St. John’s Wart supplement to my host of supplements (as recommended by my natural path doc that I also see). She had been giving it to me for 1 week.

I tried going off it, then back on it again several times. Each time I noticed the difference in my mood.

I hope this helps some. It can be a tough journey. But it helps to talk with others on the same road.
