Is there ever a cure for stage 4?

"Has anyone ever been "cured" from a stage 4, gleason 9, castration sensitive, metastatic prostate cancer?"
Boy, am I interested in the answers to THIS question!
However, the countless hours of research I've put in indicate the answer is...no. It may go into remission for extended periods but cure, no.

“Cure” is not possible but “keep it from killing me for 10+ years” would be a de facto cure, particularly if side effects were tolerable and bones remained strong enough for a long walk.
My doctor used the word cure in this broader definition. But my PSA is already increasing 6 1/2 weeks after my last Degarelix injection so I’m anxious. More anxious than usual I should say.
