A couple of thoughts.

First, if you're walking 3-4 miles/day, you are not "mostly sedentary." Please try to keep up this level of activity. It will get more difficult with the Orgovyx, but it will pay off - in minimizing side effects of the drug and also in maintaining your general health.

Please slap your cardiologist up-side the head and ask him/her if you're not supposed to lift weights, what sort of resistance training SHOULD you be doing, because this is pretty important for your overall health.

Best of luck with your prostate cancer journey. No easy answers, but there is a way forward.

Thank you! As indicated by my urologist at our last visit, I'm sure cardiology visits will increase to monitor cardiac function throughout this treatment process since most of the treatment options have possible cardiac side effects. I'll nail down what I can and can't do at the next one.
