Honestly, sometimes PC behaves like some kind of parasite 🤢, you just can not get rid of it ! WHAT was hidden for 30 years and dormant ??? Why it activated after THIRTY years ! What cell can live for 30 years ? Only heart cells and neurons live as long as we are alive (do not get replaced) - unbelievable things indeed.
Jeff - are you still in contact with those 2 men ? It would be worthy to ask them what they think helped them to be in a remission for so long. 😎
It is really so mind boggling that there is no rhyme or reason to PC ! One can have 4+3 and get BCR in 5 years and one can be gleson 9 and have BCR in 30 years. It is like tossing a yazi - that is your chance - whatever falls it could be your chance of BCR no matter what you initially had 🤨🤷♀️

Hi Surfer, Yeah it stumps me too! But if I may add my two pence, I want to say that having observed and studied several afflicted people from among family, friends and neighbours, I found that accepting and then replacing fear with faith at the deepest level of conscience is what made the difference irrespective of the grade and stage of the disease.
I am new and completely ignorant. What is BCR?

Both of the guys that I referred to showed up at ancan.org Weekly advanced prostate cancer meetings. I didn’t write down their names. I know they’re probably coming back occasionally, but they have not come back for more advice about how to handle the fact that PSA is rising..
If you look up prostate cancer and dormant cells, you will find that an unknown amount of time can go by before it comes back.
