Your case could be completely different. When you have multiple recurrences, it pretty much always comes back, If you live long enough. It’s just a matter of time.

Just being a Gleason nine alone, doesn’t do it. I know one guy with a Gleason nine that went 30 years before it came back. Another guy that went 20 years. Prostate cancer can go dormant. Neither of those had two reoccurrences, it came back once after many years.

Thank you for that optimistic note. when I was younger, I used to think that I wanted to be disease free until 80 and after that I don't care. Now I know no one wants to get cancer at any age and no one deserves it!
