Stress Buster
I’m a 21-year prostate cancer survivor and the concern it will return never really goes away. My test tests are annual now but the tension really builds as test day approaches.
The best stress control tool for me has been – and still is – bicycling. I ride indoors on my trainer during inclement weather or really busy work periods and twice a week outside. My long day is Sunday, usually for 34 miles, which takes about 3 hours.
If you’re a survivor and a cyclist, drop us a note with your story. We have a cancer journeys cycling group on Strava.com at https://www.strava.com/clubs/CancerJourneysFoundation  Join the group and share your rides.
Allez!
