I think I explained this, but I will mention it again.

My cancer was isolated to the prostate. There was no spread. I had it removed over 15 years ago.

Even though it was isolated, 12 years after my surgery cancer was found on the L4 in my spine. If it got any worse, I would lose the ability to walk. I had it zapped 2 years ago.

Because my cancer cannot fix errors in DNA, due to BRCA2 this happened. It could come back again, anywhere. It is in my bloodstream.

@jeffmarc I am probably getting to tied up in what stage my partner has, etc., metastasized versus contained, etc. but once your prostate cancer left your prostate area was yours then considered metastasized?
