Any red flags in these results or am I barking up wrong tree?

My issue is that I am extremely fatigued and struggling to cope with the activities of a normal day and have been feeling this way for several months. Due

PSA rise but scans are clear. Appetite and activity level are 0

QOL Post- Thank you KALIBER!
I was chatting with Kali several months ago after I was considering selling the scooter, fearing the loss of strength due to ADT would be an issue picking this 800+ lb machine back up if I ever lost my footing at a stoplight or something... I bought this brand new in 1982 when I was 27 yrs old. Kali

Catabolic Wasting, Cachexia and Sarcopenia - Life Extension Foundation, Section Update: 03/2021
As most men with PCa are oldER and may be on some form of testosterone-blocking treatment, like ADT, odds are they are also struggling with the muscle-wasting and weight issues that comes with both oldER age and loss of T. This article from LEF is a very comprehensive overview of both Cachexia and Sarcopenia

Maddening Contradictory Advice
Latest update on my still hormone sensitive lymph nodes-only but widespread metastatic cancer is the Dexa scan showing I now have Osteopenia (no doubt occasioned by ADT regimen and lack of Testosterone). I’ve been told I need to get 1500 mg absorbable Calcium per day to prevent further lumbar region

Experience of taking Lofepromine.
I am a parent of a teenager diagnosed with treatment resistant depression. ECT has recently made minor improvements but now Lofepromine is being suggested.

Work - the curse of the Running Class! ;)
So darn busy I let my seventh 'Runaversary' pass by! Yep - June 1st, 2016 I decided to try the crazy-promises App I stumbled across on my new cell phone. C25K itself did not fill me with any confidence - it was a post by a newly graduated young lady who described her struggles with breathing, heavy
