I sort-of had it "easy" (?!?!) because the cancer initially compressed my spine and left me paraplegic.

That means that even with the side effects — sometimes nasty — from prostate-cancer treatments, I feel like I'm getting stronger every month rather than weaker, going from flat on my back to being able to sit up in a wheelchair, to standing for a few seconds with the help of a Sara Stedy and then for a few minutes on parallel bars, to using a walker for a few steps and then a few blocks, etc.

Now, after over 2½ years of continual physio exercises, I just had my first 13,000 step day (no cane), covering 10.3 km.

The ongoing improvement (from an admittedly low starting point) has left me in an optimistic frame of mind.
