I am a 61 year old male in generally good health and with good fitness and strength.
Last November I was diagnosed, using Transperineal biopsy, of having stage 1c, Gleason 4+5 = 9 with a PSA of 11.4. I was immediately started on Bicalutamide and Tamoxifen. A bone scan in late December shown metastization to the right pelvis.
I am being treated at St Luke's Cancer Centre and the proposed next treatment step is zoladex followed by starting chemo.
and, yet -you can deadlift over 500 pounds?!?!
I suppose you're correct...
When you say "declined position", I presume to refer to bench press?
That's amazing lifting and strength retention: I find your post inspiring, Nalakrats.
What stage are you now?
I was able to put 300 pounds in my wallet when I was in England. I admit that at the time I thought it was quite sterling.
Good Luck and Good Health.

I remain on ADT vacation following a 6 month eligard shot. My T came back nicely (over 400) but now it has tailed off and is well below 300. I'll be 68 in a few weeks. Just need to accept being old -- or should I ask for T supplementation? I imagine getting plenty of resistance from my urologist on that. Good to hear continued discussion of this.
Are you going to let them know?
You are invited! To my 105th Birthday Party.
Want to know how you feel with hormone therapy, and Brachy?
