Stage 4 Metatasized to Bones- Anyone at 10 years?

Posted by cal77 @cal77, Dec 30, 2023

For an otherwise healthy male, are there those of you that are still around for 10 years? I'm recently diagnosed and at 7 months...my Urologist said I have maybe 4 years, but then I see others out there are still around at 10 years...Is everyone different?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

Glenn , from UK I know a guy who had prostate cancer stage four and went into his bones and that was back in 2013, and the guy is still alive now a bit less mobility

I just passed the 1 year mark since my Stage 4 diagnosis. I'm in a support group that has multiple stage 4 guys at 10+ years, so that gives me lots of hope. If you're on Facebook, look for a group called "Prostate Cancer Warriors" and join us!

Absolutely yes, everyone is different. My husband has been Stage 4 with spinal metastases for over 12 years. Various treatments have kept him alive and in pretty good shape all that time. So don't take seriously any specific predictions of how many years you have left, even from a physician.

I am sorry to read of this progression. Best of luck to you and Russ and your family. I would think that chemo.again would be appropriate and should that not be satisfactory the Pluvicto.
