My husband has lived with PC for around 14 years & has been on lupron injections since. 250 mg Zytiga & 5 mg prednisone were added 3 years ago. & despite usual hot flashes, fatigue, blood pressure ups & downs, did well.
The last 6 months he has been extremely fatigued, shaky, lightheaded. His blood work hasn’t shown a big problem except cortisol a little low. 2 months ago, since we were planning to go to S Texas for 4 months, his oncologist put him on a Zytiga vacation till April & be tapering off prednisone to see if that would help.
My hubby’s fatigue has gotten worse—almost dehabilitating. We have been blaming that on low cortisol, prednisone changes etc. We just got blood tests back that showed his testosterone was less than 10 (normal is 87-780). His PSA & other tests were ok.
I’m looking for sone advice. He is 84 but used to being very active. Thanks in advance.
