Living with metastic prostate cancer: Any positive stories to share?

Hi,
I am also from Ontario, and learned just last Friday, Feb 14 that I have an "unfavorable intermediate" prostate cancer. My urologist ordered a bone scan and a CT scan to determine if the cancer has already spread to other parts of my body.
My Gleason score is 8, and PSA is 10. I'm 68, are these numbers a lot worse than yours? If so, I am afraid that it's more likely my cancer has already spread and surgery might not help.
I wish you a good outcome from your surgery on Tuesday, Feb 18.

Hi it's Pete wow that's not good news. I hope not that it has spread. I won't know myself till they remove my prostate and have a further look around the area. I'm 63 and prostate cancer was on my mom's side of the family. It was a surprise as I don't hardly drink and don't smoke. They way they found it was putting the camera up my penis which was a painful procedure but glad I had it done. I only wish the best Foy you. I live in Kingston Ontario.
