Hi , I am 58 I had a radical prostatectomy four and a half years ago, unfortunately when they removed my catheter a couple of weeks after my operation I was leeking urine into my abdomen and picked up a MRSA infection that needed daily intravenous antibiotics for a further 6 weeks. So not a typical recovery.
I actually used Zwift to be as fit as possible for my operation.
Once I my treatment was finished I was just as fit as before ( I was more into running then) And as soon as I had bladder control I ran several half marathons setting 10 year PBs,
I was put on regular PSA testing and two years later my PSA started to very very slowly rise and I was put on a 6 and a half week corse of radio therapy, My company generously gave me time off to go through treatment( my job is quite physical and I work shifts). In order to target the area around were the suspected cancerous cells were I had to take a daily enema. Wether it was the enema or the actual Radio therapy I really struggled with fatigue, I did manage to run for every day for the first month of treatment but the distance shrank as the fatigue increased and I lost quite a lot of weight.
Any way a knee injury has forced me to put running on the back boiler and concentrate on cycling. I am on 3,750 miles this year with a FTP around 275 my weight is back up around 76kgs I am back up 6monthly PSA tests and if anything is slowing me down its my age not cancer.
YMMV
Good luck and take care of yourself.
EDIT and do your pelvic floor exercises!
