Cooper, it is good to hear from you. I'm sure you have dealt with all the, "my dad and prostate cancer 20 years ago and he's still around, so don't worry" types of comments. I have read just about every study & trial, read all about each 1st & 2nd generation ADT drug, radiation, etc. While it makes me informed, it really changes little. You and I are in a VERY small group and clearly, there is a very high probability that our mortality is in the balance. ADT and even chemotherapy will most likely work for only a short time, and sometimes not at all. I think we have two chances at 5 years, a miracle or if we live long enough, some fantastic new treatment opportunity becomes available. You stay strong and I'll pray for you!

Exactly, Climber! When I see the strides made in just the last 5 years since my diagnosis I am more than hopeful - in fact feel it a certainty - that 5 yrs from now we will have even better treatments to increase longevity by YEARS, not just a few months. Hang in there guys and just do what you gotta do!
