I think the point is that recurrence of non-metastatic cancer in metastatic form is a lower mortality risk than other health issues (like diabetes or heart disease), so don't let the shock of big "C" word distract you from taking care of the rest of your health.

Even with metastatic cancer, I spend a lot of time trying to make sure that if I somehow beat this I don't get taken down early by something else.

And that's exactly the thing to do. I also stay active. I may not have metastatic cancer but I haven't had my first post RARP PSA yet either so I feel like I'm still in limbo. Even then, as I've seen here numerous times, this thing can come back to hit you at any point and my current lucky streak may very well run out. Better to stay in shape, keep my pelvic floor healthy and hedge my bets, it costs nothing more than time and effort to do so.
