elimination of testosterone through ADT and aggressive behavior

Of course.. a pessimist sees the diagnosis as a death sentence; a realist sees it as a challenge with odds, strategies, and room for maneuvering. I am not at all concerned about the positives. I want to understand the odds and timely approaches to those elements that will play a role in the future if they’re not addressed today or soon. That, I think, does not make me a pessimist. Your thinking is exactly why companies and governments fail in risk management: the obvious isn’t going to be an issue, it’s the non-obvious that’s going to (as is so clearly stated in American English) - bite your ass.

OR…..the non obvious possibility that you die from a heart attack or stroke? Or a jealous husband coming home from work early? Choking to death on a healthy carrot stick? The possibilities are endless….
My ability to manage risk as far as cancer is concerned is almost nil at this point. I’ve GOT it. All the organic food, supplements and exercise - while good in general - were not good enough in particular to avoid this disease. So now I treat it, one logical step at a time.
So if you feel that you are managing risk by conjuring up scenarios - and hypothetical solutions - which will probably never happen in the real world, you are going to be anxious, frustrated and exhausted.
Take it easy until you know more…
