Hill-walking/hiking after prostatectomy

I can only relate my experience...after my surgery in March 2014, I met with my surgeon a week after the surgery to go over the pathology report. I asked if I could gradually resume activities. His answer, yes, in moderation, gradually, his two concerns', resistance training, and riding bikes. He did not say no to either but he said to start slow on the lifting weights and kick the bike riding down the road a few weeks.

So, I resumed resistance training, aerobic conditioning on the elliptical, swimming, walks along the trails near our house, usually 2-3 miles, even played basketball again...

Those were activities I did regularly before the surgery.

So, hiking in the mountains given where you are, almost two months out with no issues, may be fine.

One question: did your surgeon say if there were any effects on your PSA from bike riding, even though your prostrate has been removed? I can’t seem to get a definite answer. Thanks
