Great, pet the puppy, slap the puppy...
Does anyone here know anyone who died of prostate cancer? I mean, knew their ins and outs of their journey?

The drug used to fight prostate cancer is lupron, the same drug given to prepubescent children by adults who want to “trans” them. It is abuse of the highest order. Lupron suppresses the production of testosterone almost to a level of undetectability. Needless to say, this has deleterious effects on numerous body systems and functions.
“I know we take hormone therapy when normal approaches aren’t assured of completely get rid of prostate cancer, but getting early cardio help, and taking better care of ourselves, could be of large benefit.”
I am on hormone therapy for metastatic prostate cancer.
There are two imperatives:
1. No less than 150mins of pure, moderate cardio per week.
2. No less than 2, 30min weight lifting sessions per week.
If you don’t do that, you will turn into a girl and likely die from a heart attack.
My father had a prostatectomy at age 56. This was long ago before the PSA test was available. Five years later during a checkup his urologist ordered a then new PSA and it was 130 (normal is 0-4). One month later it was 160. No imaging studies could locate the metastases. At that time Lupron was a new drug that was not covered by his insurance and would have cost him $600/month. The urologist suggested an alternative - castration. You want to remove the testosterone, right? He told the surgeon “Doc, I’m 61 years old. I’ve got 7 kids and a fat wife. I don’t need them anymore.” That’s my dad. His 3 month post-orchiectomy PSA was 0.00 and it stayed that way until he was 82 living in a nursing home due to Alzheimer’s when the cancer returned and eventually killed him. He never had any heart disease. He had a pretty good run.
My husband’s first doctor wanted him doing hormone therapy. He got a 2nd and 3rd opinion and opted for surgery.
We did so much research on the side effects of hormone therapy. I think that’s why I’m so against at the hormone therapy for kids who want to transition.
GnRH analogues like Lupron are not only used to treat advanced prostate cancer, but transgenders. Guess they will have an even greater risk of cardiovascular disease due to longer exposure to these drugs.
Quite frankly I’d rather die from a heart attack then cancer.
