I have been diagnosed with metastasis prostate cancer.. stage 4 with Gleason score of 5+4 =9
The cancer has spread to my lymph nodes,my bones,lungs and my bladder. Although it is alarming that it is spreading so quickly, I feel that I am able to tell it that it is not going to take over my life.
I am a hard working 63 year old that used to do 7 days a week only 6 months ago. I'm currently doing 4 days as the tiredness is hitting me hard.
Until I got this horrible disease I didn't know the difference between fatigue and tiredness but I certainly do now. I push myself on my bad days to exercise and this is good. Though I do suffer later in the day.
I am currently on hormone therapy and the side effects are what you can only describe as scary. My sex drive has gone.. my self esteem has gone, my body hair has gone, my fitness has gone. I feel like I'm not me anymore.
