I am 65 and ride a road and mountain bike several times a week. My gleason score was 3+4 in two cores followed by the genetic decipher test which put me a low risk for mets. I had the first of two High Dose Radiation Brachytherapy on 6/12/2023 with the second coming up on 6/26. So far I have only some mild urinary problems. I was told that I should be able to return to "normal" activity within 2 weeks following my last treatment. Just to be on the safe side I plan on taking at least a month off from the bike. This week I have started back on some light aerobic exercise in the gym. You do have time to make a decision on what treament is best for you. I did not like the recovery time and the increase chance of incontience and ED with surgery and chose radiation. All of the treaments avaiable work well for a low or intermediate risk cancer contained to the gland. Do your research, I found the videos from the Prostate Cancer Research Insitute very helpful along with reviewing a variety of research papers. If you can be seen at a Center of Excellence for prostate cancer take advantage of this opportunity. I am currently treating at Mayo in Rochester.
