Lifting weights while on ADT: hitting a wall?

Posted by bluegill @bluegill, Jan 28 5:30pm

I'm 5 weeks into it (Eligard). This is my second rodeo (the first time I was on it for 3 years).

I've been doing intense weight lifting 3 days a week for several months now, and I thought maybe this would help me keep my energy up and keep the side efffects away. But today I've really noticed they're back.

Crap.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

Did your surgical biopsy reveal that the cancer had spread outside your prostate? Mins showed it had escaped into the seminal vesicles. These are removed at surgery so I hoped he got it all. But...guess not.

No. The only indication was a “tiny” (my urologist’s words) break in the capsule. But margins, seminal vesicles and lymph glands were all negative.
Hopefully, the Orgovyx and SRT will help us both!

At what stage were you when you started this treatment?

Almost 5 yrs to the day. PSA rise was very slow until final year when it went from about .10 to .18….and it even dropped to .15 just before starting Orgovyx!
Don’t try to figure this thing out - you’ll go mad.
