I got prostate cancer at 62. I’m now 77. I found out I was BRCA2 4 years ago. That explains why it keeps coming back even after surgery and radiation and many drugs. My PSA rises very quickly if drugs are reduced.

I’m only a Gleason seven (4+3), which is considered somewhat aggressive, But after being on Darolutamide For 18 months, I’ve been undetectable for the last 15.

You might want to take a look at this video which discusses cancer treatments when you’re elderly. Is aggressive treatment worth it.

Thanks for sharing the information. Can't say I followed it all. The urologist said because I was 78 and in reasonably good health he recommended radiation therapy. Buy, if I had a number of comorbidities, the recommendation would have been different.
