I am a life long weight lifter, when diagnosed last July with stage 4, and immediately put on ADT, I was told to exercise and lift weights to mitigate ADT side effects. Since this was already my daily routine, I just continued my normal lifting routine. I was in the gym the day after getting Firmagon injections in my stomach. I woke up in a fog that morning, but still went to the gym. It felt strange at first, but after a few exercise sets the fog disappeared. The first two months were hard, fatigue would set in and I had to push myself to the gym, However, the fatigue is very minimal and now, after 9 months. I have actually put on a good deal of muscle and gotten stronger on all my lifts. I am 72 and just about as strong as when I turned 50. I lift 4 days per week and walk about 3 miles each day, I do have weird joint and muscle pains off and on, but they only last a few minutes and disappear with movement. Each morning I psych myself up with positive thoughts and hit the gym. I just keep telling myself that this PC won’t get me down,
My best advice to everyone here is to keep your mind strong and positive.
