I did 18 months of Lupron in concert with six cycles of taxotere and 25 radiation treatment to the PLNs (see attached clinical history). As they say, study of one but throughout that period I exercised regularly, swam, elliptical, indoor and outdoor biking, played basketball, went skiing and hiking in Colorado, walked my dog, did the lawn and gardening work, lifted weights, even did the Bataan Memorial March in White Sands. NM with my sister, a 26.2 mile "hike in the desert, of course, my time sucked.... I was 62 when I started and generally a lifelong active person. That's not to say I didn't feel the affects of those treatments, there were some days during the taxotere cycles where doing 10-15 minutes on the elliptical vice 30-45 were a challenge, once I set out on a 20-25 mile bike ride and had to call my daughter after 16 to come get me!

I did gain weight, about 10-15 pounds, when my GP commented on it I reminded her of the Lupron and the affects of low T on metabolism...lost it after I went off treatment.

So, you're doing the right thing, regular exercise along with diet, managing stress....one thing I think may have played into my situation was the proverbial mind over matter, I believe it's a powerful things.
