Eunuch Archer's Update

[whitemoustache (imported)]

Those who have been following the thread, "After Five Years, Prostate Cancer Attacked Again," will know I'm getting both barrels, Lupron every 4 months, and Apalutamide daily. The Lupron injections are painless, and the effect is almost immediate.

I just had my second shot of Lupron yesterday and went to the archery range today. Gadzooks, the fatigue!! I shot 30 arrows, and they felt like 90. The Apalutamide further complicated shooting because the numbness of my hands made nocking the arrows difficult. Now I know why both oncologists seemed awestruck when I told them I planned to continue to practice archery. My bow draws only 45 #.

The last shoot before we lose the range is 9 days away. I only hope I don't embarrass myself or the club. Stay tuned.

I understand what you are going though. Believe it or not, archery fulfilled my phy-ed requirements through 3 bachelor degrees. And that says a lot considering what a bad shot I was.

Keep at it, and good luck!
