I understand where you are coming from, but my take on my PCa....aggressive prostate cancer, is totally different.
1) I had a bilateral orchiectomy, CASTRATION, the pathologist's report included a side note that exclaimed....."I now believe that you can have 10 pounds of balls in a 5 pound sack!"
2) I felt that if Lance could ride pretty well with 1 testicle gone, I could ride twice as good with both testicles gone!
3) Removing my boys was the fastest 10 pound weight loss I ever had. Sure helps my climbing.
4) My former PCP, primary care physician, remarked after I told her that I bicycled 11 miles with a Foley Catheter inserted and bag strapped to my leg just 2 days after my PCa procedure....."You are the NUTTIEST NUTLESS guy I know!"
5) When I got to the LBS after riding 5 miles to the shop with the Foley in place, I stopped the guys giving my high 5's with a.....STOP!!! a sigh and then I mentioned I just peed.
I joke and keep my humor up because it is what it is and if it KILLS me, at least I enjoyed my bicycle.
