While your two scenarios sound possible that really isn’t the way it happens. People don’t usually quickly deteriorate and die From prostate cancer. Proton, photon or others.

It’s a more drawn out thing and there are many treatments people can have that keep them going for years after they have problems with reoccurrence.

I’ve had incontinence for 10 years and ED for 16. Had brain fog for at least six years, but it doesn’t stop me from doing anything. I just can’t remember the names of things sometimes and have to look it up. Had three reoccurrences in those 10 years but I’ve been undetectable for the last 26 months due to the drugs we have available. Still haven’t had chemo, Pluvicto Or a PARP inhibitor.

I know a lot of other people in similar situations.

So I wonder what your point really was. Something about a single treatment Causing issues?

I agree. I was just trying to make the two endings the same, in order to compare only length of life vs quality of life with regard to the initial treatment.
