Dennis and Steve, you both have pretty much written my story. Veteran, diagnosed at 73 (4 years ago), chemo then Abiraterone nd Lupron since. Definitely a new normal to adjust to with the fatigue, weight gain, muscle loss, etc. But we are alive so let’s enjoy it. I (usually) resist giving in to the mid-afternoon slump and the call of the chair by going to the gym, bike ride, or dog walk. As Dennis says, do something, and be grateful for each day. And Steve do file that VA claim. Since the passage of the PACT Act the VA mentality toward claims has seemed to changed for the better. See you both on the other side of 80. Gary

@gbrickler
Gary, thank you for that reinforcement. Doing something everyday has been key here. I had
stepped away from my hobbies for a short time, but have been re enthused with it, try to do a little of that every day! Plan to do something everyday. Got tires to get rotated tomorrow!
