Can prostate cancer ever go into remission?

Watching my Dad with his prostate cancer for 22 years I had somewhat rough idea of what I wanted to do and what I didn’t want to do. That said prostate cancer in my humble opinion seems to be one of the most difficult to understand
Even with all of the new breakthroughs options differ so much it makes it difficult for me to know what to do. At this point based on some basic changes that have occurred I’m still not sure where to go who to listen to and what to actually do.
For now I rather hear it all rather than stick my head in the sand.
So please continue with your stories of your own cancer as well as the stories about someone else’s experience
Has anyone else come up with the deduction that CRISPR will be the final answer once the figure out what needs to be altered?

Hi, again, @olman. It must have been tough watching your dad.
I still feel like we're missing information. Do you know your PSA? Your Gleason score? Whether imaging shows cancer spread outside the prostate? What procedures (if any) have you had?
If we have more info, we can share more relevant experiences and info of our own.

Darn right. I have BRCA2 And if Crisper could just add a letter to my DNA chain, I would not have BRCA.
For most people that have prostate cancer there are no DNA changes to make unfortunately so crisper won’t really help, yet.
If you look at the issue of prostate cancer in families through generations, but no genetic issues, that’s not gonna last forever. They already know that some combination of genes is probably what’s causing the problem.
Will we live long enough to benefit from that research?
