@kujhawk1978 That's heartening.
I'm just coming up on 5 years (this fall) since I was disagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer in my spine at age 56. When I asked, my younger daughter told me she was sad I might not live to see her graduate, since we thought at the time that I wouldn't be around long.
Instead, I regained the ability to walk, attended her graduation, played guitar at her wedding, and met my first grandchild this year.
Hoping my next 7 years go as well as yours have. Still NED (no evidence of disease) so far on ADT + Apalutamide, after radiation in 2021/22 to both the prostate and the spine. 🤞

That's why when people say their medical team says they have "x" years I say BS...nobody can or should say...
Too many weapons in our arsenal now, yep, this damn cancer still kills but I believe we are rounding the curve on management as a cancer we live with as a result of advances brought about through research...
I mean in 2014 nobody was talking to me about radio isotopes, aka, "smart bombs" which would travel to the locations in our body which are PSMA avid and release there "payload!"
Just saying...
