Yes my cancer is equivalent to chemical castration. I had my fun in my youth with love making. My wife and me have been married for 33 years. we love each other very much but having sex pretty quicky became not the main concern in our relationship. I know it was problematic a time but we survived it and now in our older age we laugh about it because we don't have that much to miss, even more now(my wife is a breast cancer survivor stage 3 C). Sometimes a curse is a blessing in disguise.

Thanks, and I understand what you mean. 🙂

That said, "castrate-sensitive" means that hormone therapy alone can still keep your cancer under control (PSA close to 0), while "castrate-resistant" means that it cannot (PSA still rising). I was curious whether you got chemotherapy because your PCa has become castrate-resistant, or whether the chemo was just proactive.
