Am on Xtandi + Eligard now. Fatigue is worse with Xtandi. I take a 1 hour nap in the afternoon + 7 hours sleep at night. The Eligard knocked down my immune system so the Shingles are back. Zostavax + Shingrex have limited that to a few nasty little sores rather than the whole belt patch event though. Started Xtandi when my PSA hit 3.3.
Have a very healthy diet regularly so have only picked up 5 pounds since restarting leuprolide chemo last Nov with a triple hit injection of Firmagon. Am hoping to get rid of that if/when the weather gets warmer. My body hair has been falling out and I feel flabbier but that may well be emotional side effects.
Once again, my daily 2-3 hours running/hiking really seems to help me both physically and mentally.
