Have his testosterone level checked. He should not feel lethargic unless maybe he is depressed. You don't say how old he is. I am 74 and my energy level started fading at 72 long before my prostate cancer treatment. I can tell I am getting older.

He is 74 and he is being closely monitored his testosterone is up and and his PSA remains low. We saw our GP yesterday and she like us thinks perhaps in a months time to maybe not bother with the testosterone Gel as it at this point I’m time not improving his energy. He does not suffer with depression as such, he is very fortunate as he is a passionate obsessed artist and devoted to his studio and driven by his work. He also exercises every day as he was advised by a physiotherapist how important this is. The lethargy is frustrating him because it interferes with his art. He also has developed 2 lumps in his left arm one on his wrist and another on his elbow having an Ultrasound done in the next week or so. So we push forward focus on good things especially at this time of the year. Christmas, family, friends and loved ones that may not celebrate Christmas but are still in our hearts.
