Prostate cancer - been living with stage 4 for 4 years. Don't give up

I am 70 and diagnosed about 4 yrs ago.

Got a phone call out of the blue after my scans.

Luckily, I have done well on xtandi drugs. No side effects.

After I turned 70 I thought I am not giving up just yet so joined a gym. I am one of the oldest and now doing some serious weights under guidance.

My blood pressure has dropped dramatically and my oncology nurse cant believe it!

I am stage 4 with cancer also in some ribs, lungs and left clavicle.

Never give up, do what you can..I no longer walk with a stick, posture far better and I feel good.  Just a little exercise helps.

    I'm really pleased to hear how well things have been going for you since you were diagnosed with prostate cancer 4 years ago.

    I'm sure some of our prostate cancer members, especially those with stage 4 like yourself, will be really buoyed by your experience so thank you for taking the time to share your story with us.

    As you say, never give up and long may your good health, gym visits and impressive weight training continue.
