The importance of exercise when on hormone therapy

My treatment for prostate cancer has involved three periods on hormone therapy. I was first treated with hormone therapy in 2011 and suffered from many side effects including hot flushes, fatigue, a loss of lean muscle tissue and an increase in fat mass.

I started a programme of structured exercise in 2013. Exercise is known to reduce the side effects of hormone therapy and, for me, the impact of my exercise programme has been life changing – it has dramatically improved my quality of life particularly during subsequent periods when I have been treated with hormone therapy.

In the video below I talk a little more about my experience and what has helped.
