Stage 4 Prostate after a year has Metasasized to Lymph Node

We learn from each others stories. I am 70 years old, 3.5 years into my prostate cancer journey. I was on watchful waiting for 10+ years. Prostate Cancer Diagnosis (Stage 4) happens, within two weeks I began Radiation (24 rounds, 1 month), Chemo (3months), ADT ever since. Year one was full of ups and downs, depression, pain, and little hope. In fact it was so bad I choose not to hope. Year two, discovered wellness full of ups with few downs, depression and pain became very manageable, mostly it was me + caregiver wife learning how to manage the pain and live with cancer. Year three +, epically wonderful, made it to survivorship acceptance. Hopeful, Helpful, and Healing is a great place to be in this journey.

I thank you so much for this post. Gives me hope and lifts my spirits. I'm one year into this stage 4 metastatic and one lymph node. I try to always keep pushing through the side effects of the meds. One of the meds which I get monthly is switching to quarterly after next weeks shot. I really do believe that one gives me the shortness of breath I've had since the beginning. When reading others stories on here, especially someone "ahead" of me, it picks me up and makes me fight all the more. Thank you so much.
