Alan, you are so right about health and quality of life, but I’ve spoken to hospice nurses whose patients, literally abandoned by the medical community and left to “die with dignity” STILL want to live!
Of course, some are comatose but even the lucid ones don’t understand what hospice means and think they are actually getting life saving treatment. They WANT to live more, even in their debilitated state.
I wonder how many men on AS, when told that their sudden jump in PSA and newly biopsied tissue reveals aggressive disease, simply say, oh man, I better get out there and increase my endurance training. I think at that point Tyson’s Law kicks in, No?

“ I wonder how many men on AS, when told that their sudden jump in PSA and newly biopsied tissue reveals aggressive disease, simply say, oh man, I better get out there and increase my endurance training”

Of course your question is a hypothetical…and only happens rarely in the case of GG1 men (per Dr Lawrence Klotz), but I think the answer to your hypothetical question may still be “hundreds, if not more”…

Chris Wark has hundreds of stories of what the medical world technically calls “spontaneous remission”…because from their POV they have no way to explain such outcomes.
