Thank you North…that is a helpful explanation of the 4-5 year prognosis. That prognosis really upset me and caused my wife and I to put our affairs in order. We did not wish to be a burden on our kids. I’m now 78 and our business affairs are now in order but we have 2 large homes that are full of stuff and we have no plans to downsize. The kids will handle getting rid of stuff much like what my wife and I did when our parents passed.

@hbp Yes, the same thing happened to me. I remember lying alone, paralysed in a hospital bed at age 56, awake in the middle of the night trying to document everything for my family in a note on my phone. Dark times.
My younger daughter thought I wouldn't see her graduate (I did). I thought I might never walk again (I do) or go to the family cottage (I was there just over a week ago). I've been on a trip to Europe and crossed Canada by train. I'll meet my first grandchild in January, and now I've even lived to see the Blue Jays make the World Series again. (Hope that's not too controversial for the forum. 😉)
Don't give up, folks. Advanced prostate cancer is serious, and thousands do die from it every year, but our prospects are *far* better than they were just a few years ago. There's no guarantee we'll make it, but there's real hope now that didn't exist before.
