Thanks thats really kind I'm so pleased these videos help others.

Thanks brother for your videos, also struggling with side effects. Hard to explain to people since I don’t look sick on the outside. Stay strong and know you’re in my prayers.

Thanks Woody Been on adt for two years. Had a little fatigue but not too much. Now having a break from adt to see how things go. Been off of it now for three months. Some improvement in energy. Still getting hot flushes. I think it’s important to stay over all your test results as there are a lot of treatments available if your cancer progresses. We’re in this boat together. Crossing over despite the storms. 🙏 God bless. Harry.

Woody, Thanks for this. When I look at the side effects of all the treatments that I am on ( ADT, Radio) fatigue is number one on the list. The way that I deal with it is exercise. It really works for me in so many ways with this condition ( stage 4 diagnosed 7 months ago). I try to get on the bike every day. For my 40 minutes commute to work and at weekends on Saturday and Sunday. Mentally it is great and it nails the fatigue ( OK I get sore legs but that is quite nice) . I also think it helps my body fight this - I am “throwing the kitchen sink” at mine and this is an easy ( and pleasurable) hit for me!

Such a positive post. I believe you are right that exercise is the way to beat fatigue. I always feel it's a struggle to do exercise like walking but when I actually do it I can really feel the benefit. It's the couch to the door that's the hard bit, once the front door is open it's great 😃

Fatigue is really big problem, walking helps, moving helps.

I will never forget the doctor who told me to get ready for death. Four months later I ran the 100th running of the Boston marathon in 1996. He told that only riding a bicycle raises the psa. The psa test is very inaccurate. Good look in progressive movements! I forgot to say that as a young adult doctors told me I bad blood pressure. After that I started using my fathers blood pressure machine and it was incredibly lower than at a doctors office! Get better!

Starting my adt next week then radiotherapy in a couple of months it's good to talk to other men going through the same thing. Well done for having the strength to do the videos top man👍

You are doing amazing walking 5km a day and working out that's got to be tough. Keep fighting 💪

I've stayed very active to try to beat the side effects of ADT therapy but must admit I'm feeling tired and go to bed early. I'm looking forward to getting some strength back when this ends. Best wishes to you and thank you for your postings which are very helpful.

Happy to see your improved mood and attitude. I understand and share your feelings about fatigue from our treatment. I, and I am sure many of us, experience the same fatigue, and the feeling of being lazy. Consider taking an anti depressant drug, Effexor, which my doc prescribed for hot flashes. You might benefit from that in both areas. I have no good answer for fatigue however, as it kicks my ass routinely.

The hot flushes seem to be getting better which is improving my mood somewhat. The fatigue I'm determined to fight

I am also going through this and feel fatigue is hard to live with. I start radiotherapy in march and i look at this as way to better days, the financia side of this is also a worry but when isn't it. I wish well better days to come.

Keep fighting and stay strong

If I stop it will kill me quickly. I have a very aggressive form of the disease and the ADT is holding it at bay. I can put up with a bit of fatigue if it means I get to see my girls grow a few years older.

Mike it's tough, it's almost a case of mind over matter. Keep pushing on my friend 💪

Woody, I appreciate your videos. If dealing with fatigue perhaps you can ask your doctor about a prescription of Adderall or Dexedrine. It’s helped me not only with fatigue but, with my mood and motivation as well.

Adderall can bring some not good side effects, emotional detachment.. so it is written.

Understood and explained by my doctor but, for me there are no negative side effects and has reversed my fatigue and elevated my motivation. I’ve tried several stimulants and found Dexedrine to work best. You can always discontinue

G’day from Australia I’ve just been diagnosed with PC My PET scan which highlights cancer showed my prostate lit up like a blood moon,filled to the walls & a spot in a vertebrae in my neck So my hope of benign enlarged prostate didn’t last long At 57 yrs old it had never at any time occurred to me to get it checked years ago ‘What a tool’ 20 yrs ago I was even involved in charity events to raise $$ for research I’m so pissed at myself for not thinking to watch it as I got older It frustrates me as I may have avoided it being so bad & therefore requiring the bloody horrid treatment that I’m about to undergo It’s only been 2 days since the urologist appointment and 12 months since I first had any symptoms Merry Xmas Woody Regards Buck
