Does family motivate you?

What does your relationship with family and prostate cancer look like? Are you motivated by your family?

  1. Yes, our daughter usually comes to visit at home on Sundays and often makes dinner for us. When she is unable she will usually meet me for lunch during the week. I am sometimes sad because I can't do the things with my wife or daughter that I used to because of the ADT treatments. I am often fatigued.

    1. Exercise, But it is a Battle to do it, especially when feeling Fatigue! Lots of time i dont ,When i Dont i Get Depressed, THAT turns into the Real Motivation , because i look in the Mirror , get Mad as Hell , Thank The Lord For How Great im doing, call myself some names, like you weak Ass B, etc , and THEN IM GOOD FOR A COUPLE WEEKS, LOL and just repeat the process, Iv never had any one to lean on so i always had to find ways To Force Myself to take Action. For every thing, Unfortunately it was always by looking in the Mirror and insulting myself , till i got Mad at myself for not being strong enough, or smart enough, and later for letting My Father God Dn, End Result always the Same , My Insults to my self Would Cause me to Man Up And Take Action. I Will say Now That im Older, Have A Great Relationship My Father God, after calling Myself names,, Yes even tho Im Tight With God, i still call myself Names in The Mirror, I now Think The Biggest Motivator comes when I Feel im letting My Father Dn, Because he Has Been There for me Through all this !!! Then The Mirror action Stops , and i get to work, If i could only feel that first, LOL. Not the average way to Motivate, But i have ALWAYS KNOWN that Exercise Is the Best thing you can do for Yourself, And Probally also the Hardest thing to do regularly , What ever your way to Motivate is JUST DO IT, Or Find One, Then Do it .Most the time its as simple as just taking the first step, Then Another. God Bless Every One.
