Stage 4 PC Longevity: Anyone have prostate cancer more than 10 years?
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (149)Comment receiving replies
I was diagnosed at age 68 August 2024, had the prostate removed in January 2025 my PSA is at 0.79, have one 5mm spot in the pelvic aera, now they want me to go on hormone therapy, and radiation, the hormone to last up to 3 years. On top of this they want me to go on statins, baby Aspern, has anyone went down this rabbit hole? I feel just fine right now but have been doing my research on all this stuff and it sounds as how quality of life is going to go down dramatically,

In response to 13roadrunnet.
I was in your place 10 years ago. The path you described is typical and usually necessary. The existing cancer needs to be addressed (surgery, radiation, hormone therapy, etc.) Then, you must battle it like your life depended on it, which obviously it does. For me, the litnay of drugs, targeted beam radiation on those troublesome tumors, chemo and an orchiectomy to stop the food source, testosterone. I'm now repeating Pluvicto, which I give an A+++. Based on my response to the first 6 Pluvicto treatments, I hope to go another 18 months, or so before ithe cancer gives me a real problem, again. I don't know about the statin's and asprin purpose for the cancer unless there's a heart condition.
My personal advice, do what you have to do. Stay on top of it and, more importantly, stay one step ahead if it. Your quality of life will be what you can make of it.
