  • Hi Gazza and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with prostate cancer and that you are experiencing a lot of tiredness from your treatment.

    We have some information on how to manage your fatigue on our website, but make sure you let your medical team know about this as well so they can look after you and adjust your treatment if necessary.

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m but hopefully some of our prostate cancer members who have experienced this as well will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    We're thinking of you Gazza and hope this becomes more manageable for you soon.

    Kind regards,
