@ranger44 Congratulations on your progress! I'm 74 and at one year of treatment with ADT and including radiation. I'm hoping for 5-10 years but not setting any family longevity records. 4 + 3, lesions in prostate and beyond into adjacent lymph nodes. I've got to get back on dietary track, because I've gained 20 pounds (of what I lost during Covid) since beginning treatment. A medical oncologist this week echoed what I've been reading: vegan, vegetarian, or Mediterranean diets avoid beef and processed meats. All the best for your journey.

@ranger44 So you are not going to re- biopsy at any point to see if your pathology has changed??
Don’t know your medical health situation but men in their early 70’s these days who are in reasonably good health can easily live well into their high 80’s or longer.
Giving yourself only 5 yrs isn’t nearly enough.
