"In my case, exercise makes me feel really good despite my medical conditions… "

That's exactly it. In the end, whether exercise actually delays cancer progression or not is irrelevant to the decision, since we *know* it mitigates side-effects and improves quality of life.

There's little downside, as long as you're safe to do it (e.g. under medical supervision if you have a heart condition) and don't OVERdo it (ADT is very unforgiving of overexertion, as we all discover sooner or later).

"whether exercise actually delays cancer progression or not is irrelevant to the decision"...that's a "bridge too far"...and I MUST disagree.

For men diagnosed with low risk PCa, slowing cancer progression is a HUGE DEAL.

I understand where you are coming from, and you can be skeptical with your own opinions, but please do not minimize what the science has already demonstrated.
