My main concern is the sleeping problems caused by hot flashes, which have been partly controlled with a prescription of Provera 10mg daily, although this only reduces the intensity of flashes, not their frequency. The loss of interest in sex is not a problem for me as I now have the same libido as my post-menopausal wife!

If I had gone for radical prostatectomy, would I be now be free of fatigue?
The hot flushes were around before starting radiotherapy and down to the goserelin implant. My consultant believes the ongoing fatigue is probably also down to the reduced testosterone since I finished radio 6 weeks ago now, but the lack of energy was not an issue before I started radio.
The ongoing fatigue is very frustrating. I feel that I can not commit to much.
