Exercise and cancer
Nice reminder of the importance of forcing oneself to get to the gym and get moving! Thanks for sharing!

Hypoxia is a serious issue, but one can't be forever exercising. & with ADT, we are severely limited in the amount of oxygen that can be delivered by our reduced red blood cell count.
Here is something I posted 3 years ago. I continue to use a nitro patch.

Any indication if it has helped ?
I'm still here after 15 years, but who knows why?
Here's how the Siemens study was covered (& promptly forgotten?):

Patrick..does your GP prescribe the patch?? What amount of Nitro is being used? Why not just use the paste if it is low dose? A shame that this does not seem to have made it to mainstream or been followed up??
Tommy,
I have an integrative medicine doctor who prescribes my nitro (0.1 mg / hour), as well as Metformin, testosterone, Arimidex & low-dose Minocycline.

Nice... although I am sure it helps that you are informed enough to present compelling evidence WHY you should add these to your regime....Better still is HE/SHE suggesting any of them?? I've heard Metformin mentioned quite a few times in the context of Pca... what is it's mechanism of action AND given it's original use is it any help in mitigating weight gain?
Doctors have to be careful once they stray beyond accepted protocols. My guy does not "treat" PCa, but is OK with someone with PCa requesting something that might help & would be unlikely to harm. My guess is that it takes a little while for trust to build up. I was careful to avoid requesting too much too soon.
Metformin is primarily an AMPK activator.

The article is 4 years old. Has there been an mention of results from this study since?
“... too much exercise (in terms of duration or intensity) may actually be a bad thing when it comes to treating tumors.” I hope they figure this out soon. I’ve been exercising a lot.
Dr. Mark Scholtz believes heavy exercise is necessary (and he is a gym rat): "There is a way to counteract muscle weakness from hormone blockade and it takes a fanatical, diligent, consistent commitment to exercise. And not just any kind of exercise; I’m not talking about running and stretching; I’m talking about weightlifting. Weightlifting can compensate for the muscle loss that occurs when testosterone levels are low. But this usually means visiting the gym 2 or 3 times a week and really stressing the muscles so they become fatigued and sore."

Completely agree with "fanatical, diligent, consistent commitment to exercise", but there's many ways to do it. I run a lot. I split firewood by swinging an 8 lb maul. At random times I'll do a dozen pushups. Sometimes I'll even lift a few weights in the company gym, but that's my least favorite form of exercise.
As someone who enjoys running, I was disappointed that in the article I posted Scholz specifically said that running does not do the job. Oh well, at least I can still believe in its cardio benefits.
That's just Dr. Scholz's opinion. He has a point that strength training is the best way to retain muscle mass. However, in my experience, running helps hugely with fatigue. Not a walk, not a short leisurely jog, a RUN! Think "marathon training", or in my case at the moment, half marathon training.
Well guys just to let you know.... my tits are getting hard...
Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Yes but does it work for your dick too...
Dick who? Oh you mean 'dickie"...that dickie... Well one morning I woke up after having an X rated dream and sure enough my sheets where up in the air, so I quickly pulled them off and there was my pajama string standing straight up in the air.
Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
