My Gleason score is 7 - 3+4. How long can I live without treatment?

You are correct when they say you live this long or that long if, the fact remains that the way you die is horrible as it would be in any cancer I suppose. I did watch my father get eaten away by this disease and it wasn't pretty.

I have a question to anyone out there: I have prostate cancer discovered in April with a biopsy precipitated by my Gleason score of 15 and one 3 4. I'm ready to go through with the radiation but I'm not hopeful seeing I will not take hormone shots. Does anyone know of Dr Makis and or Dr Howe and their use of Ivermectin?

Why won't you combine ADT with radiation?

What about Orgovyx? No shots, side effects minimal if you exercise and eat right. ADT (hormones) could be the game changer for you.

I too have PC, first suspected last March, PSA 5.2, then MRI showed something, subsequently confirmed by biopsy as Gleason 3+4, PSMA showed contained within gland and no spread. After a bunch of reading I couldn't decide on a treatment, but I swore I would not do ADT. I told myself I would have surgery before that. However, after having the Artera test (showed I have a biomarker that indicates a significant risk reduction with short term ADT) and speaking with a couple radiation oncologists and medical oncologists at different highly regarded cancer centers, well - I start Orgovyx tomorrow, with RT starting in 2 months. I exercise and eat well already, so hopefully it won't be that bad.

I assume your Gleason Score 15 is a typo . No matter , have a 2nd or 3rd opinion of your biopsy results before making any knee jerk decisions you may regret . Read Dr. Patrick Walsh's Book "
Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer . YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DIE TOMORROW , YOU MAY HAVE HAD THE CANCER 10 OR 12 YEARS . Do you feel any different today than you did before your diagnosis . I agree , stay away from hormone treatment if at all possible . If you must go forward with treatment investigate , what is becoming the go - to treatment for low risk and favourable intermediate risk prostate cancer . SBRT 5 Treatments . Typically Mon-Wed-Fri AND Mon Wed the following week . I am on AS for over a year . I " MAY " consider MONOTHERAPY SBRT . Yes MONO -- no ADT etc .
