Hi Jeff, I always value your insight and I wanted to follow up with your regarding your reply to this thread. I'm hopeful you can share your thoughts as I was very encouraged to hear you say you know a lot of people with grade group 5 who have been alive for well over 10 years. Briefly, my numbers are: I was diagnosed at 56 years old. PSA 13.2 followed by prostate biopsy. Biopsy results: 8 cores = grade group 4; 4 cores = grade group 5. Cribriform morphology present. Perineural invasion; intraductal spread / intraductal carcinoma identified. I don't have a great idea about survivability, curative scope or duration of treatment other than I've completed radiation treatment and am on ADT + abiraterone (you've replied to some of the cardiac issues I have experienced from abiraterone) for two years. My oncologist says she believes it's curable. I struggle with the veracity of this statement and hope to get additional information from you. I value your input.
