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.

The thing is with all the online advanced prostate cancer meetings I go to. the people that die in five years are a different type of patient..
They almost always have a lot of metastasis to start off with and a very high PSA and Gleason scores. They start right off with triplet therapy ADT an ARPI and chemo. They don’t get much comfort for five years. They have serious cases the whole way. Some of them have genetic problems that cause it to come back quickly as well. Sure, some people in this situation do live many years and do recover for years, but even then they worry about the future.
