Hi,
not so active here now as 4 years along my cancer journey, well, I will be on 13 May2017. My experience of the Robotic Op and subsequent treatment is outdated, as advances continue to be made, thank goodness.
So, here is where I need help. I was on a course recent,y where I was required to ride a bicycle for about 40 minutes.
Now, I have cycled all my life. Used to part drive/part cycle to work for many years, cycling 12 to 16 miles each depending on here I parked.
Used to cycle at weekends for fitness, 15 to 20 miles. I cycled.
I knew in advance I would have to cycle. I selected my bike. I got the lid on. I got the Hi-vis on. I stood by the bike, for an age. I could not get on the bike. That is when the instructor came to me, and asked if I had a problem. I told him of my past and the operation, and my "staging".
My diagnosis was initially T2, upgrade after pathology, DAMN YOU PATHOLOGY, to T3, so touching the wall.
I was scared that there may be a stray cancerous cell somewhere in me, somewhere down below, that cycling may dislodge and send around my body
Is that fear irrational? At the moment I am so fortunate, life is so good. I do not want to jeopardise that.
