Question : I had eight weeks of radiation after radical prostatectomy. I also had four months of Lupron. Lupon ended on January 31, 2019, and radiation ended on February 6, 2019. Since then I have had fatigue. I was a runner but can no longer run very much. How long will it take for the fatigue to go away so I can run again?
