I don't know if this is of any help. 12 years ago I was diagnosed with an incurable lymphoma but am in excellent remission. A year ago I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer. The PSA was knocked down from a bit over 2000 to 0.19 in six months. The lymphoma remission taught me not to worry about minor things. The PSA knockdown strengthened that to where my concern about the outcome of the prostate cancer is not forefront in my thoughts. My point - management of concern is possible. My attitude is best expressed by the Doris Day song:
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
I wish that all with incurable prostate cancer can manage anxiety very well.

@beaverjohn you are absolutely right I was dreading yesterday PSA test for days, I had a feeling that my SRT had failed, and the PSA test confimed it, I was upset for a while but I come to the realization that I have many options to keep treating this incurable disease. Anxiety is mostly gone, I am planning to keep it that way, one day at time.
