I asked this question after I had surgery, Dr can’t really give you a good answer, how old are you ? I ask myself this question but it’s too late surgery missed getting it all now into radiation, asked my radiologist that question last week but now my cancer more active than originally know so he said maybe 5 yrs as a guess, good luck if you about 70 it’s a gamble on your part, good luck

No one has a crystal ball. 5 yrs, 10 yrs, it’s all guesswork. Really surprised your doctor put ANY time frame on your possible lifespan. You are currently in salvage radiation with ADT - far, far, FAR from being anywhere near dead from PCa!!
There are guys on this board who got this disease in their 50’s and early 60’s who are still here in their 80’s so where’s this 5 yr BS coming from??
It’s cold and bleak in the Boston area this time of year, but in about 2 months things will start to green up, you’ll be done with radiation and you’ll feel a lot better about things. Just give it time…
