Hormone Therapy (ADT) when ArteraAI Test says it's not necessary

@tjnoffy As for what constitutes as “exercise” for minimizing the side-effects of such toxic pharmaceuticals as ADT, it involves more than just “…volleyball for a couple of hours twice a week, walks with the wife and dog most days.”
There has been much reported on the physical benefits of resistance-training exercise while on ADT. Here are just a few that I’ve bookmarked:
> Drs. Sholz and Moyad talking about exercise and hormone therapy: https://m.youtube.com/watch
> A paper on The Benefits of Exercise During Hormone Therapy: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54c68ac6e4b06d2e36a4b8c9/t/55cb7275e4b0d97ae7ff60af/1439396469154/The+Benefits+of+Exercise+During+Hormone+Therapy_Insights+August+2015_PCRI.pdf
> A study about the benefits of exercise to counteract the adverse effects of ADT: (They describe a good resistance-training program): https://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/fulltext/2023/04000/resistance_exercise_training_increases_muscle_mass.2.aspx
If you do what it takes, you’ll do very well with hormone therapy - it’ll just be an annoyance; if you doesn’t do anything, hormone therapy can be your worst nightmare.

@brianjarvis Thanks for that. UMMC has offered a strength training study in concurrence with the proton therapy. I think it would be 2-3 times per week along with the proton therapy 5 days a week for 5½ weeks. If they recommend I do more than the study offers, I will.
