That pic is from last week during one of my hikes amidst the Taxotere rechallenge after Abiraterone and Xtandi failed last year. Had 15 Taxotere sessions in 2015
Since the restart of chemo, PSA has dropped from 9.6 to 4.2 - not as much as I hoped with two more to go But, a decrease is always welcome.
Fingers crossed that the PCa will become resensitized to those meds that failed
About to hit 100 miles since I began that second round of chemo for the 1st quarter of 2021

Hi, I'm fasting two days prior as I did in 2015 to lessen the side effects. A bit of a metallic taste, and really minor neuropathy in tips of fingers, not enough to stop my working as a DDS. Thankful for that💙
I have black coffee in the am and I sip on homemade tomato, curry veggie broth thru the day. I still do IF (Intermittent fasting) daily from 9pm to 1pm the next day since the diagnosis in 2015.
I read Dr. Valter Longo's research in 2015 and thought I'd try it. I'll never know if the fasting helped since I'm just one data point with my individual physiology, genetics, and type of PCa. I'm in my 6th year with PCa after Dx in 2015 with mets to L side ureter lymph nodes, GL 7(4+3), and PSA @ 840.2.
Hit a nadir in the Summer of 2017 at 0.1, but have two 1 cm hot spots in pelvic lymph nodes from an Axumin scan last Nov.
Hi, I guess a pace that gets your breathing to be a bit labored, this pace depends on one's own fitness levels. As you gain fitness, your breathing will become less labored.
An old rule of thumb for a running pace to be aerobic was to go at a pace that speaking out loud is a bit of a chore.
There is casual exercise walking that could be 20 minutes/mile or say fast "POWER WALKING" of 13 minutes/mile and for many event walking like in a 5K, 10K, 1/2 marathon or marathon there is often a "CUT OFF TIME" that requires at least a 16 minute/mile pace.
My fastest "SPEED WALKING" event paces were a 9:12/mile for a 5K and a 11:20/mile for a marathon using Danny Dreyer's Chi Walking Method. "RACE WALKING" with that interesting wiggle that is required is super fast with the record at 5:36.9 for the mile.
Great scene - White Heat. BTW that was a hard hit on Edmond O'Brien head:In the late 1970s, O'Brien fell ill with Alzheimer's disease. In a 1983 interview, his daughter Maria remembers seeing her father in a straitjacket at a Veterans' Hospital: "He was screaming. He was violent. I remember noticing how thin he'd gotten. We didn't know, because for years he'd been sleeping with all his clothes on. We saw him a little later and he was walking around like all the other lost souls there."
Edmond O'Brien died on May 9, 1985, at St. Erne's Sanitorium in Inglewood, California of complications from Alzheimer's disease at age 69.
Slow walkers should be pulled over and made to go home by the COVID police. But it is self-reported slow walkers so what is that? Really officer it seems fast to me. 😆👮🏻♂️🚶♀️
