My patient had his results returned. 2 of the 12 biopsy samples contained cancer cells; one had 15% coverage and one had 30% coverage. The Gleason score was 3+3=6. So, overall, early stage and not too aggressive, which is good. His urologist is recommending to wait 3 months for the next PSA test before making any decisions on treatment.
In the gym, we slugged it out hard today. 20 minutes on the bike doing 30s hard 30s easy for 5 minutes, then 10 minutes of a pyramid interval set, starting at 10s and +10s each rep up to a minute and then back down, always with only 20s rest. Afterwards I really tested him on his side lying leg lifts, seeing if he could maintain a 3 count up, pause, 3 count down for all 3 sets of 10, and he did. Finished off with some weight lifting. I was glad to see him rise to the challenge after he had been so tired earlier in the week.
