This was so refreshing to read. More people suffering from physical ailments of every sort should be taught the benefits of regular exercise. Some even argue exercise is the best cure for anxiety and depression, and I can see why. Swimming as always been my favorite form of exercise, well not always. It started when I moved to Seattle and the guys who cleaned my roof at https://www.rojomossremoval.com/ mentioned that my yard was the perfect size for a pool. So, I did the thinking, because I had back pains and knew my neighbor dealing with cancer could benefit from me having a pool as well, so I went to the gym to see how much I liked swimming. I've been swimming everyday since!

Inspirational to read your blog, Terry, although only just found it twenty months later. I, too, have advanced prostate cancer. I was diagnosed in November 2015 after a pulmonary emboli in the April; it occurred only two months before I was due to take part in my first GB age-group European Sprint Championships in Geneva and, therefore, I was unable to go. In the following years, 2016 and 2017, I did manage five sprint triathlons…just. Now, I can only swim, however, swimming and adopting the total immersion technique under the guidance of our tri club swim coach keeps me going. I only swim once a week but can still do about 60-70 lengths on a good day. It helps in a multitude of ways, many which you describe. I have lost so much muscle mass, have great levels of fatigue and am now at the point of body fractures; having recently had a vertebroplasty for a broken back. However, in the water I am weightless and for me swimming is about as ‘effortless’ as anything I can do. I feel relaxed, free and can focus on moving through the water in a way I can’t do in any other activity. My prognosis is that I won’t last the year but swimming is a great way to keep the body and mind in a good place.

Terry,
I am bookmarking this post to re-read everytime I feel miserable and defeated.
It trully takes enormously strong mind to grin at your enemy like you do. I know I am yet to learn A LOT from you how to overcome problems, especially “impossible” ones.
Thank you for being with us and sharing this.

Hi Terry. Just signed on after a long hiatus. Read your messages about your cancer, like a kick in the stomach. Don’t know what to write, but I do know that not writing is not an option. How you’re dealing with this, regardless of outcome, is a more complete statement of Terry Laughlin as never before seen. You manage to combine an awe-inspiring level of American grit with a equal level of calm and equanimity. The world cannot afford to lose you. My prayers are with you.
