Awweee Denis 💗 : ((( , I know, it sucks big time and no matter what stage. I do not even have cancer (my husband has it) and just the other day I told my friend that I wish I was never born, it pains me soooo much to know that my husband has to deal with PC and I am emotionally in the worse state than he is.
But than I tell myself that newer and newer drugs and methods are becoming available and they come out of research pipelines faster and faster ! It is only matter of time until they find true cure and in the meantime we have so many different ways to control cancer until that cure happens.
I would not call your treatment palliative - I think that it is very active treatment and will keep your cancer under control for many, many years and with immunotherapy trials already happening and the use of the AI there is no way that they will not have big breakthroughs in the next couple of years.
Just yesterday I read that AI helped with discovery of possibility for utilization of some old asthma medication in treating aggressive breast cancer ! I also know for a fact that AI is used as we speak here in the Bay Area for development of new drugs for PC !
Here - listen to this also :
And that is what is available "today" - imagine in couple of years 🍀✨
Sending you big HUG !!!!

@denis76 I don't want to minimise what we're facing, but even metastatic prostate cancer is often manageable now. It either is already or is on the verge of becoming a chronic disease that you live with, like Parkinson's or HIV (they can't know for sure until they're looking back at 2026 from 5–10 years in the future).
This article is two years old, and there's been even more progress since then:
