Welcome! You seem to be managing your disease quite well, and staying fit in the process. I hope the enzalutamide keeps working for a very long time.

Welcome Mick... there's quite a number of runners here-- dockham, tominMass, myself and others.... and then more who are weight lifters-- Nal, bodysculpt, and others. Your high activity level can do nothing but help. Congrats on making it five years and keeping up your lifestyle! cheers- Tim

A 150 miles a month? I thought my 80 a month at a 9:00 pace was doing very well. I'm 70, you?

[Mick268 in reply to Hidden]

59 this month, diagnosed at 53.

Welcome ! All aboard Mick . I too was dxed and 53 in 2015 . Keep rolling..

We always say: Welcome to the club, but sorry you have to be here. Sounds like you've had a good response so far. I wouldn't be concerned about your PSA not going below 1. For some, it can stay around that level for many years. Hope for continued success.

[Mick268 in reply to Hidden]

Have gotten used to it to a great extent it’s just my normal.

True. Sorry you are here, but these guys in the forum are your friends and experienced warriors of this common enemy.

I encourage you to continue training You will find it very rewarding in the long run

[Mick268 in reply to Bodysculpture]

Hi, I have train consistently all the way through my treatment including during my chemo, this year due to the lockdown I have focused more on the running as the gyms have been closed but still manage some weights in the garage.

Hello Mick,

Pleased to meet you, most of us took up running to get to the loo as fast as possible. Now I just walk 😳.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Welcome Mick to the club nobody wants to belong to but you will be glad to be here with all the support, intelligence, and information provided. Staying physically active will serve, in large part, to ameliorate many treatment side effects. Continued treatment effectiveness
