Good for you! "Incurable" doesn't mean "doomed". Lots of diseases are incurable, but with modern medicine people still live with them until they reach a natural old age.

As I've mentioned before, there are strong signs that advanced prostate cancer is on the cusp of that, and I am hopeful for you, me. and all the rest of us with "incurable" advanced PCa.
