Of course your treatment choice is an individual decision weighing many factors. My experience is go for it. After being mis-diagnosed for 8 months as BPH at a Sacramento university medical center, a second opinion confirmed stage 4 Gleason 9 prostate cancer. That was February 2023 at age 74. Bone involvement in pelvis, spine, ribs. I was given 6 infusion of docetaxel at 3 week intervals. Also Lupron and Yonsa. Which I continue to take. Last week’s bone scan and CT scan found no evidence of the lesions in bone. I did not find the chemo to be overly unpleasant considering the benefits I expected. Are the aches & pains (minor in my opinion) due to the treatment or being now 76 years old? Stay active! I continued to exercise (admittedly moderately) during chemo, and now cycle, lift weights and go for long walks with my Golden Retriever. Stay positive and stay active my friend, let’s beat this. Whatever path you decide on, prayers for your success.
