PSA 8.6, MRI PIRADS 5, Biopsy scheduled, so a bit worried

I’ve been running every other day since mid January. Up to about 4.5 miles around a track. About 40 minutes. With change in diet went from 227lbs to 206. I’m 6’0 and it feels good although a new look. The other days I ride an incumbent and do some weights, planking, etc. I haven’t had a PSA since weight loss but it’s probably still elevated. I enjoy wine too. Even make my own Pinot and Cab but for now just taking a break until I get some more info about my prostate condition. I’ll check that book out. Thanks.

Good for you! A great beginning!

I enlisted my two brothers and my two sons into a “Runners Group” on Signal when I first started out.

We live all over the country so we all got ourselves Garmin watches and encourage each other in whatever exercising activity we happen to involve ourselves…though the “Connection” feature on Garmin…we can view each other’s results.

I remember those early months…I was losing weight and gaining endurance week by week…after 6 months, I began to plateau…now I need my groups encouragement so as not to regress on my “new exercise/diet lifestyle”…I find it hard to maintain a strict diet….always experimenting with “exceptions”.

Anyway, no matter what happens and what you decide to do (or not do) regarding your prostate issues; the satisfaction and empowerment you mentioned will bleed over into other health and relationship areas of your life, once you make your lifestyle changes your new “routine” and find a group to share it with…

All the best,

Alan
