Enjoyed the report. I am a stage 4 guy. While my stage was not mentioned in the report I am at the phase of survivorship any good, or semi-good news works wonders for me. Hope and being social also work great for me. Those are my primary life goals these days. Be hopeful and be social.

Sorry to hear of your stage 4 PCa. I was just diagnosed 4 months ago, so I’m still on the steep end of the learning curve regarding this disease.
Most of my PCa research has been focused on low and intermediate risk disease; since that’s my situation..in that regard, this report was helpful and mostly encouraging about the survival rates of localized PCa.
I have read some about those with metastatic disease and I suppose the “average” prognosis is not so great.
Even so, I did find a study about an older man (87) who lived with his stage 4 PCa for over 9 years.
Not sure the details apply to your case, but I offer it all the same:

It sounds like you have a great attitude and have found a hope that satisfies.
I’ve learned that we can have no better life than to be thankful for everyday the Lord provides…and…if the wisest man who ever lived could say that when the “evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”….it is still our whole duty to “Fear God and keep his commandments.”…then who am I to believe anything less?
