This Biden thing has really got me down. It seems that lots of people are shocked by how "horrible" his type of cancer is, but my numbers and his are almost identical. There is no evidence mine has metastasized yet, but it's pretty clear that mine is no longer hormone-sensitive.

So, I thought I was feeling good and doing well, but now I feel crappy.

Don't listen too much what "news" anchors tell, they always sensationalize things to sound "interesting" and sometimes even tell stupid things that are not true.

Yesterday BBC anchor said that prostate cancer is the second most deadly cancer - he speed read somewhere that prostate cancer is the second most common disease in man that can cause death (the first is cardiovascular disease) and than wrongly made conclusion that it is the second most deadly cancer - could not be further from the truth !

Also, every single patient is different and has different outcomes no matter what the stage is. Every prostate specialist will confirm that. So just ignore news *hugs and keep your positive attitude since it is one of the most important things in fighting any disease and especially PC. Just do not watch news for some time or skip that segment.

Don’t feel crappy. We are probably not getting the full accurate story anyway.

I'm sorry to hear that. I have almost exactly what former President Biden has (mCSPC, though I don't know if his is oligometastatic). The background info in some of the news stories is seriously out of date. Our prospects are much better than they were just a few years ago.

The complicating factors for President Biden could be age and overall health, which could preclude him from getting the strongest available treatments.
