The statistics you see on the web about survival rates and durations ate related to cases that often were diagnosed a decade ago or more. Treatments are much more efficacious now than they were then. Your husband (and your whole family) have been dealt a very tough hand. But there is more hope than the statistics show. Look around this forum. There are many examples of people beating the old odds because of new treatments. I’m stage 3 with Gleason 8. Treatment has not been pleasant but neither has it been that awful. Push hard and advocate for yourselves. I wish you the best of luck.
Wanted to add one more comment, be careful of Doctor Google. I found out the hard way a lot of the info is years old. The hard way being it shook me up some. I found this site and there are so many sharing the same boat. This site has been a blessing for me, so much compassion and support to us all. Ask any question and someone will relay their story to help as best they can. I wish the best to your family on this journey. Best to all.
