hello all.

new to group, not sure if i'm posting in the right place. have posted not long ago but it seems it was in the wrong group.

just diagnosed advanced prostate cancer 2 weeks ago. gleason score of 4+5=9 no pain. but my fatigue is so bad.

not seen doctor or started treatment yet. so fatigue not due to treatment! was wondering anyone in same position or going through same?

hellp is needed to try and reduce my fatigue.

kind regards mike...

P.S hope this goes to the right forum.

Hello Mike ( mike3561 ). Yes, your post is definitely in the right place…! I’m another G9 man and to be fair, fatigue really only hit me towards the end of the 20 fractions of radiotherapy. I had to push myself through that by going out for a walk each day when we got home - it would have been very easy to just sit down the rest of the day. A year later, still on hormone therapy, I’m walking a lot and lifting weights, and back to about 90% of my previous energy level.

I’m no expert but I do think increasing ‘normal’ exercise is key after diagnosis. Not always easy though…

You may also want to consider having a chat with your GP, and maybe asking for a blood test, see if there is anything they can do to help you.
