The key to avoiding side-effects from radiation is less about our differences, and more about avoiding hitting nearby otherwise healthy tissues and organs. But, since you’ll be getting salvage radiation, unless you know exactly what and where to target, that’s gonna be difficult.

The key to avoiding side-effects from hormone therapy is (once again) less about our differences, and more about offsettin the metabolic side-effects of low testosterone. A robust resistance-training program will minimize many of the undesirable side-effects of ADT. It’s important to start the exercise program well before starting the ADT.

Thanks Brian, I have never been big on weights or resistance training, have done plenty of exercise but mostly cardio type stuff but will start doing weights now and hopefully put together a program that I can keep going through the treatments and beyond.

Wish you the best in your journey.

Thanks Again!
