“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.
I sheet the bed on the weight lifting, but a brisk 3-4 miles walking, and 5 miles on my bike, keeps me happy. I keep putting off joining a gym, just lazy I guess. I have a membership waiting for me, paid for by my daughters, I just haven’t cashed in on their promise to pay.
As I see it, you throw everything, plus the kitchen sink, at cancer, especially at the metastatic stage.
I would rather know with pretty good certainty that cancer won’t come back, even if that means extra exercise and other precautions against the side effects of cancer therapy.
It would be nice if so much diligence did not have to be performed.
