almost 2 years in hormone therapy

It's been almost 2 full years of being on the hormone therapy and I just had my most recent visit with my Oncologist yesterday. As a refresher, I was on both Lupron and Casodex and we stopped the Lupron in December but continued the Casodex. My Oncologist told me to take my daily Casodex for 30 more days and then i could quit! Woo Hoo!!! Next on the agenda for me is to focus on 3 things 1. work on my cardio 2. work on strength training (lift weights like Arnold used to) 3. stretching exercises during the past 2 years while on the medication I've lost muscle mass and bone density and now need to get back in shape. I'm on a mission to drop 20 lbs by my 50th birthday. now just watch me go Be well and continue to spread the word since it's Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

So why aren't the NFL players wearing Light Blue? (the color for PCa) You can bet they'll wear pink during October. I don't get it...1 in 6 men will get PCa and yet they don't try to help raise awareness. I need to call the commish. Spread the word and wear light blue this month, I will. Later

I'm one proud father

today my son went next door and mowed the lawn for our neighbor. they are dear friends and Eric, is only 3 weeks removed from a triple bypass. He dodged a bullet and he's making an amazing recovery.

So Eric can't lift more than 10lbs and he asked Bradley to cut his lawn and told him he would pay him $20. Now keep in mind, Bradley just turned 13 so $20 would be great.

But Bradley told mr. Eric today..."no, I don't need the $20, I'm a Boy Scout and we're supposed to do a good turn daily. I want to do this for you"

As it turns out, I've been Eric's walking buddy, helping him get back in shape and when he told me this, I was almost moved to tears, I was THAT proud of my son.

What a great kid and 1st Class move.

oh, I forgot to mention one point....Bradley just advanced another level, he IS a 1st Class rank Scout.

weight gain...

man, I'm frustrated.
Stupid medicine I'm taking, almost every one has 'weight gain' as a possible side effect.

I'll make a public declaration - I AM going to lose weight, starting today.
29 lbs over the next 90 days.

wish me luck

100+, very hot

Like much of the nation, we're a little steamy in Charlotte. I couldn't resist this post title given my last post title :)

We'll enjoy the summer while it's here, before you know it they will be talking about No'easter storms or some early snowfall.

Stay cool, enjoy a cold beverage with a friend.

Be well

0.0, Very cool

The last PSA was 0.0... So the aggressive prostate cancer is technically in remission. WooHoo!!!!,
