Good for you, buddy. I saw your reply to Colleen and now you can thank your own sound judgement for not listening to those internet trolls.
Also, you echo the sentiments of MANY of us here who pursued a healthy lifestyle, exercised, avoided foods deemed harmful, etc. It doesn’t matter when it comes to PCa!
But take heart in the fact that your otherwise healthy body will be your greatest asset going forward with whatever treatment you choose. You did not waste your time! Both surgery and radiation can exact a toll, but for myself and many others here, we found that our ‘training’ mitigated most of the side effects and enabled our recoveries to proceed at a much faster pace.
You’ve done your part….so please remember to select the VERY BEST doctors so they can do theirs.
Best of luck!
Phil

Hey Phil,

I appreciate your response more than you can ever imagine.
It is a huge relief to hear that the training can play such a key role in this whole crazy process. My urologist alluded to that, but your explanation is much more detailed. I'll keep working out, for sure. For me, it's also a way to burn off some of the aggravation that cancer has created.

One week from tomorrow I have an appointment w/a fairly young physician at The City of Hope. His credentials are impressive, and the staff has been professional, understanding and compassionate.

Thank you again for your response. How are things w/you?

Doug
