Hello Shaun62 and thanks for posting

I'm sorry you are still experiencing fatigue ( tiredness) following prostate cancer treatment last year.

There are many possible causes of fatigue, but the main causes are often due to cancer and its treatments. We have some information on our website about fatigue and tips on how to manage it such as doing a form of gentle exercise, getting enough rest and eating a good diet.

Fatigue tends to improve over time for most people. It might be a good idea for you to keep a fatigue diary. This can help you keep a record of how you are feeling, and how your energy levels change and can show patterns of your fatigue. This can help you plan your day. It can also highlight which activities make you feel better or worse.

I think it would be a good idea to to talk to your doctors or your specialist nurse about your fatigue. Sometimes there is a specific medical cause for which there might be a remedy such as anaemia, so do get some input about this from them.

I hope this is of some help. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9 am till 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Celene
