I completed C25K nearly 2mths ago and was running 30-40 mins 3 times a week for a month until 2 weeks ago when I got shin splints. I'm only now ready to start running again but don't feel confident going straight back into 30 min runs. I thought about starting midway through the C25K program, but which

For some time now I have asked myself is it actually worth it, putting up with side effects and feeling generally unwell after being put on one treatment after another, then going on to have 6 spinal fractures without trauma.

That was my dilemma this morning. Had a terrible night... just a few hours disturbed sleep. When the alarm went off at 5, I couldn't have felt less like getting out of bed, let alone going out for a run. I was so torn.... my head voice was telling me I should just put the run off until tomorrow, so

Just saw my rheumatologist today. I’m having some trouble with the veins on my right arm during my monthly IV treatments of Actemra. I had a left side mastectomy so I can only use my right arm for blood pressures, injections, blood draws and IVs. Veins are not holding up too well after all that’s been

Anticipate starting Provenge in about two weeks. diagnosed three years ago PSA 147, extensive bone mets. Current treatment Leuprolide, radiation. Shortly after diagnosis three spots on legs and shoulder were zapped, and scheduled next week for radiation on new spots in my spine and wag. PSA was under

I’ve been a little quiet lately but the good news is I haven’t stopped running, I just didn’t have the mental energy to write about the last ones, especially after my last epic saga of the mundane was lost to the depths of my iPhone last week. So anyway I ran on Saturday after a chain of unexceptional

A little worried about starting this week, I had spent the weekend reading through various posts on here to keep me motivated and give me inspiration. I went out at my usual time, just after 8am, the field I run on, opposite my house, was cool and just the usual dog walkers around. I love it at this

Good afternoon all, I like to think myself as an early morning runner, getting my exercise in before I start work. However, I really struggled to drop off to sleep last night, no particular reason, just one of those nights when I couldnt stop my brain from thinking! Alarm went off at 5:45am as normal

Hi there I was diagnosed with osteoporosis around 2years ago after a fall and broken wrist in Asda car park. Since then Inhave done various exercises- swimming/gym/cardio however I’m curious about couch to 5k and wonder if anyone with osteoporosis has successfully taken part and continue to do so? Thank

Is there anyone with Arthritis of there eyes and Skull and Brain ? I have it and met a couple of people who have it to. But some Ophthalmologists thinks it’s absurd but others think, oh really. And I go yep. Where the fracture on my skull feels like someone’s whacked me on the side of the head with

My dad is on Lupron and Xgeva. He hates the shots and I don't why he has to receive them along with Xtandi and numerous horrible side effects. Why do doctors make you get the shots every month?

Hello. My husband began Xtandi on June 8 th and discontinued it on July 17. He stopped treatment on July 17. He stopped due to PSA rising dramatically. He had been having leg numbness and weakness also. Trouble getting out of chairs. Weakness in his legs. Started using a walker in the house due to not

Just got back from my Doctor's appointment. The Doc said he couldn't be happier with my progress. My blood tests all came back with good numbers, PSA 0.1, scans show no progression Mets are all stable. I have the utmost confidence in my medical team and with the help of my family and friends especially

Face masks can help prevent the spread of COVID-19 among folks trapped in a room with an infected "super spreader," a new Swiss study claims. Most infected people with a typical COVID viral load don't flood the air with coronavirus-infected respiratory droplets, and the risk of catching the virus from

I was diagnosed in Oct 2006. 14 years ago, just after I turned 51. My base PSA was 38.8, GS score was 4+3=7. I did the dual radiation thing with the seeds and the external beam (IMRT). Then after 5 years I started Lupron intermittently. 1 yr on 1 yr off. Next I did the immunotherapy treatment Provenge

Hello my dad has been on Xtandi for about 3-4 months yes it brought down his PSA level magically but he is having some side effects to the pills we think. He is 82 has been on most treatments like Provange, Zytiga, on currently and since this battle started Lupron and Xgeva but now he’s on xtandi. Numbers

These side effects include loss of libido, loss of bone mass, causing an increased risk of fractures, hot flashes, cardiovascular complications, metabolic complications like diabetes, etc.
