Can I Manage Testosterone w/ ORGOVYX and Skip Radiation?

My exercise isn't what I would like. I have claudication in my legs and it limits my walking, etc. I'll be 76 in August. The biggest annoyance for me is the hot flashes. And living in Arizona, I've noticed as the temperatures have increased towards Summer; the hot flashes are more troubling. Unfortunately, you limit your activity outside when it's 110 degrees. I have an Oncologist appointment/PSA test on July 9th.

I hate chlorine, so I'm not going to practice what I preach, but before my legs could weight-bear again, my physiotherapist told me about exercise classes in the water, some even including treadmills. That might let you work out more than you can if your legs have to hold your whole weight.

There are also aerobic exercises for people in wheelchairs that involve only upper-body work (I did a few when I was in a chair).

Best of luck. It's hard staying in shape when your body isn't working as it should.
