Stage IV Prostate Cancer. Age 69, diagnosed age 67. The treatment plan is the big 3 (Radiation, Chemo, ADT), still on hormone treatments. My recovery is more like a total rebuild. During the first six months of treatment, I was knocked for a loop and bedridden. Too weak to stand. It took about six months to walk safely around the block. Twelve months ago, I hired a wellness coach with experience working with cancer clients. My strength is coming back. Here's my routine: Think nutrition, not diet. Stretchy bands three times per week for 20 mins, swimming three times per week for 30 minutes, walking daily for 30 minutes, tia -chi three days per week. My balance, strength, and attitude have all improved dramatically.
