Hello Logan. I have had the same initial biopsy as you. After the surgery cancer was found outside the margins with bladder neck involved. That was February 2016. 59 years old. I was suggested , then given 8 weeks of radiation (my only tattoos). Of course since I also had nerve involvement my mojo was gone. Took a while but myself and my wife accepted it. I was after all past the crazy sex days. I went on for 9 years, basically not worrying just getting a psa every year. I moved to Maine, was strong. Eventually my psa began to rise. Was supposed to be undetectable. Long story short I had a pet scan which lit up quite a bit. That was 2024. Went on adt. Quarterly injections ; daily 1000mg abiraterone +prednisone. So far so good. It’s Easter 2026 and besides being a bit weaker than before I’m still here to enjoy my family. I still do most things I always did before, albeit with more difficulty. So my advice is listen to your doctors, keep a good attitude and live. We live with the sword above our necks, but we live. Good luck

Appreciate your story & message rooroo, I'm getting my Lupron injection today, then exercise, and radiation beginning in the near future and am hopeful for some period of years remission. Your advice is what I've tried to do all along my journey.
Thanks again and wish you all the best!
