I am sorry to see that you have joined this merry band, but there is no better place to get the information you need.
The answer to your question is somewhere between probably and possibly. The difference between the two will depend on your age, your fitness level, and your body's reaction to the treatment.
I was moderately fit when diagnosed, but at an age where the sort of work you are describing would be better done by someone else.
If the work you're doing has kept you pretty fit, and this is complemented by your general lifestyle and age, then there is no reason why not.
I have dealt with the ADT with very few problems. The R/T, though, regardless of impact on physical capacity, causes problems by virtue of the fact that it is every day. You may have to consider your working hours to work around the R/T, or even stop working altogether while going through that. It just takes an hour or so out of every day, not allowing for travelling. Sometimes, if the machines don't behave themselves, then you will be hanging around longer.
In my own case I felt the increase of fatigue over the last two weeks, which carried on for about 2 weeks after, and then faded quickly. I could not have done your job at that point, but then I could not have done your job period.
In some ways your job could help you. One of the way ADT can affect you is msucle wastage. Lifting can prevent this.
Radiotherapy is likely to affect your work. ADT less so, probably allowing you to continue. Much will depend pn how your body reacts.
Welcome aboard, not the place you wanted to be but as Steve says, there is nowhere better for shared personal experience and support.
The effects of both the radiotherapy and hormone therapy vary immensely from person to person.
I was 74 years young when my treatment began and in my opinion reasonably fit and otherwise healthy. I can truthfully say that the radiotherapy had no effects on my day to day life EXCEPT that for a while during and after it caused my bowel and bladder to consider that they ruled my day! This was not to a serious extent but they did remind me to heed their demands. I did not suffer any noticeable fatigue problems.
The HT began almost a year before my 20 sessions of RT and continued for six months after. Unfortunately the side effects of that, hot flushes and erectile dysfunction, are still with me.
You can read the rather protracted diary of my journey to date by clicking on my name or avatar above this message.
Sad to say, you will have to be able to manage your life around the way in which your unique body responds to the treatments and until you know that just live in hope that it is kind to you.
Whatever the outcome you are most welcome to come here with any questions that you may have, nothing is too trivial.
Im 60 years of age I have been told that my prostate cancer has got to stage tb3 and geason 9. I have had robotic prostatectomy and now my psa is still rising and pritty quick. I have done my internet research and feel as im fit and still go to the gym and proberly to over active for my age, that I will end up on chemo and adt. Im waiting on my appointment with my oncologist next week. My urologist has told me that they cant find where the disease is as my pet scan was inconclusive.
