Once you’ve had it come back, you can’t be cured, No doctor would say you are cured, But some people haven’t go dormant for decades.
You had it come back pretty quickly, which is also a sign that something else is going on. You really want to get a decipher test to find out what your likelihood of reoccurrence is. Yes, you’ve had one, but this will give you a future view of what’s going on.
Unfortunately, you provided absolutely no information about what your prostate cancer case looks like. Knowing the Gleason score, what your PSA was before your surgery. What other things were found in your biopsy or in the biopsy of your prostate after it was removed.
Were any of these things found in the biopsy intraductal, cribriform, Seminal vesicle invasion, EPE or ECE. (Extraprostatic extensions extra capsular extensions). They can make the cancer much more aggressive.
I had my prostate removed in 2010 and radiation 3 1/2 years later when it came back. You ask what could happen here is an example of my case.
2010 I was 62 and a biopsy showed Gleason 3+4. My father died of prostate cancer and he had radiation so I decided to have surgery. After surgery they told me it was a Gleason 4+3. It was only stage two. 3.5 Years later it came back, I had a Lupron shot 2 months before 8+ weeks of radiation. 2 1/2 years later it came back and I went on Lupron. I became castrate resistant 2.5 years later and added biclautamide. 1.25 years later went on Zytiga, which kept my PSA down for 2 1/2 years. After some AFIB Issues I switched over to Nubeqa. The last 25 months I’ve been undetectable. I became stage four about six years ago, had a metastasis on my spine zapped 2 years ago I did not find out I was BRCA2 Until five years ago. That’s why it keeps coming back, I’ve had four reoccurrences.
@jeffmarc thank you
I really don't feel like talking about it right now
This ADT has me climbing up a wall
