Since this thread has been running so long, it might be interesting to reshare your current age along with age and cancer stage at first diagnosis. That might be reassuring for newly-arrived members, especially, to see how many years a lot of us have been successfully coexisting with prostate cancer.
Here's mine:
Age: 60
Age at first diagnosis: 56
Cancer stage at first diagnosis: 4 (oligometastatic)
Current status: full remission (PSA < 0.01)
