Like others, have seen and read literature on exercise and PCa.

First thought, does exercise play a role in "preventing" or "reducing" one's chance of joining this club? Study of one, no, I have been active all my life, played multiple sports in high schools, 22 years in the Army so ran, lifted weights, played basketball, played gold (I walked, no cart) swam, went skiing, hiked in the mountains... After I retired, what changed, nothing. Last year my gym reported out I had visited 270 times, each visit was 45-60 minutes on the indoor bike, weights and 1000 meters swimming. For the 5th year in a row, I rode in the Garmin Unbound, a 50+ gravel bike ride in the Flint Hills of Kansas near Emporia.

And yet, there I was 23 January 2014, my urologist reviewing the TRUS biopsy report with me.

2nd thought, can exercise mitigate the side effects of PCa treatment, study of one, yes, to a degree. I am not sure it made a darn bit of difference in hot flashes, genitalia shrinkage...Perhaps I would have gained more weight when no T sunk my metabolism!!

What I think is exercise plays a role in one's CV health, bone health and a host of other systems which all of us can benefit from. I have read through literature which talks about the role exercise plays in our immune system systems (like liture on its role in testosterone) and that may be a factor as a stronger immune system may better fight off PCa in its weakened state brought on by treatments.

Again, study of one, but high risk, GS 8, GG 4, 18 months to BCR, rapid PSADT and PSAV...yet, 11+ years, here I am, three of those 11 on treatment, the other eight plus off. As I type, 15 months since my last treatment.
