Hi
Over the last 3 months when doing anything physical I get a extreme feeling of tiredness and want to sleep, if I do sleep it messes with my night time sleep so I do try to avoid it.
Could this be a result of the radiotherapy and hormone treatment?

Hi Safeways I can’t recall when you finished RT but both that and HT cause fatigue. RT can be a year after you last finish but generally would only be months. In my experience you need to exercise up to the point before you are exhausted. I find if I push too hard I am completely done in, but can recover after 15 mins or so. Hope this helps. David
Still got 10 months left on Triptorelin, some of my problems were due to lack of B12, 6 injections over two weeks and one every three months to eternity, but what a difference it has made.The hormone seems to wear off towards the end of the 6 month period, then starts to kick in about 3 weeks after the next injection..
Ten months seems to be a long way off at the moment.
