Zytiga and Orgovyx: What helps side effects, fatigue and disinterest?

Web265 articulated my first thought: After 7 quiet years, it must be a pretty big emotional blow to have the cancer reappear.
I know that it was a major disappointment for me when my 1st postop PSA was not undetectable at 0.19.
Counseling may be appropriate, including for you and your "loss" of an active partner.
ADT agents seem to result in different side effects for different patients.
Maybe discuss w/ Med Onc a different ADT in the same class.
I try to walk daily about 45/50 mins and lift light weights 2/3 times weekly. Certainly gives me a sense of accomplishment in addition to mental and physical health benefits.
Good luck to all.

Hi,
We went to his oncologist, and he ordered Remeron. Next visit, he will reevaluate to determine if my husband's medication should be treated. My husband is reluctant to make any changes, because his PSA is undecidable. However, it's impacting his quality of life. I have been searching for a support group or counseling for us to attend. It would benefit him if he heard others experiencing the same situation. He lost his best friend a few months ago from a sudden death. That was devastating for all of us, as it was unexpected. They spoke daily, and I know there is a void. I have to say it's difficult to find a support group in our area for prostate cancer. Most support groups are generic. A few support groups I came across were in other states. I stumbled on this forum. However, I will keep looking. I agree, the key is to exercise, which I will continue to encourage. Thank you for your feedback. Best of luck to you as well.
