Garry52224g...I'd suggest that your fatigue is a side effect of your hormonal treatment... I've been on Zolodex 10.8mg (3 monthly) injections for a little over 2 years now and the fatigue still persists...

Yeah it's one of the side effects...the 1st implant was the worst as there is a huge battle within your body as it tries to fight it off...absolutely flattened me for about 2 days...the best solution I've found is to just force yourself to get out and about whenever you feel drained...
?Depression is something unrelated I think...try not to think about things and keep your mind occupied...
?I'm always pretty upbeat about everything but there are the odd moments...

Hi Garry..Have been on Zoladex now 3 years...there are some hurdles to climb.I have just finished another 3 month course of Bicalutimide to bring my PSA down...In the final stages of Prostate M c....Keep active...I bought a vibraplate and exercise on that 2 x 8 minutes aday...get out of the house when you are feeling lathergic other wise it becomes a pattern an you will start nodding off at a certain time....Talk to people,don't think the worset...Your treatment sounds POSITIVE SO be POSITIVE....be with Positive People....The hormone tratment will make you a right BITCH...lmfao so don't let people get you down then you'll start thinking the worst that they are againgsst you...Been there done that...But I have learnt to deal with it in my own way and am still working and have a POSITIVE mindset an quality of life even with Osteoporosis that is a side effect of the hormone treatment...All the Best on your Journey..Ken

I believe the treatment is quite good and can keep the cancer at bay for quite some time.

Here's one for you Garry...say to your self..."Lets treat this cancer first then have alook at this other thing that ails me".....Stop thinking the worst senario....Thats what Depression does.....When you sit around at home its the worst time...Get up an go do something when you start thinking negative stuff...doesn't take much to get those thoughts outta yer head...Cheers..Ken
