Stage 4 PC Longevity: Anyone have prostate cancer more than 10 years?

Posted by ringmastr1 @ringmastr1, May 26, 2023

There is a lot of great info on this forum. I am 54 and was just diagnosed in January with metastatic Stage 4 PC. (Hip, L4, Sacrum, and a small liver lesion). My PSA has gone from 359 in January to .24 last week and I feel great! I am curious to know how many guys on this forum have been treated for more than 10 years and what your quality of life is like. It is stories like this that will give me (and others) more hope. Peace to you all!!!

I go to CVH radiation today Wednesday 9:45 to look at spot radiation of my bone in my back left shoulder Its called palliative radiation to stop the pain as I can't sleep without lots of Tylenol and other
With PSA not going down and with PSMA PET Scan proof last month, I qualify for LU 177 Pluvicto but in 2026 at CVH else PMH downtown I had six injections of Radium 223 at CVH a year ago
This is a good read What is Better: Actinium 225, Radium 223 or Lutetium 177?

Thanks for copying most of this and posting copy @northoftheborder

Nothing can cure mets to the bones, just control it Kill of many calls but it hands around
Radium 225 is similar but different LU has radium from Nuclear plant and formulated a few days before the injection That is why one must not miss appointment

I'm just entering year 5. Became resistant 12 months ago, and started Pluvicto 1/27/25. Injection every 6 weeks. Slight PSA decrease after first injection, after 12 months of steady PSA rising a slight down tick works great for me.
