I'm glad to hear the treatment is helping. Perhaps the new strength you feel is your body not having to fight the cancer as much as it was? (Just guessing)

If you're comfortable sharing, is your cancer castrate-sensitive or castrate-resistant? My bone-metastatic cancer is still castrate-sensitive, so we've been managing it without chemo, but I know there's a new trend to give chemo proactively for a 1-2-3 punch.

Yes my cancer is equivalent to chemical castration. I had my fun in my youth with love making. My wife and me have been married for 33 years. we love each other very much but having sex pretty quicky became not the main concern in our relationship. I know it was problematic a time but we survived it and now in our older age we laugh about it because we don't have that much to miss, even more now(my wife is a breast cancer survivor stage 3 C). Sometimes a curse is a blessing in disguise.
