i was diagnosed with Prostrate Cancer a few months , yet found out very  recently that it’s aggressive . I have hormone injections every three months and injections into my left eye every month.

assuming the injections keep working , how long will I live as my Wife is very poorly and mentally ill too ,so it’s.very important to know when planning what’s left of our future.

i  struggle to up and down our hallway , some 60feet up to 150 times a day. Plus ten sit ups too. Will this help me fight 

the condition ?

thanks

Terry

    Hi Mandy Irene, I am so sorry to hear about you and your wife.

    I have aggressive prostate cancer too, and still doing ok 3 years on, and its impossible to give you a prognosis, aggressive prostate cancer doesn't mean its not curable, and if it's not, treatable for many years, we all respond differently to therapies and drugs, and which ones you are able to take safely, I cannot have chemotherapy or surgery, some cancers are more sensitive to certain treatments, and there are new treatments becoming available all the time, I think most will agree, and your oncologist too, that they just don't know how long you have.

    I read you were having problems with financial support,  www.maggies.org have a Benefits advisor, you may have one near your hospital, but if not,you can call them.

    And yes the exercises will be a big help to you.
