I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer 11 years ago, had a total prostatectomy and was put on intermittent Lupron therapy. After about five years, they had to put me on standard every three month Lupron therapy. Two years ago as my PSA was becoming higher and higher they added an anti-androgen agent, abiraterone. So far that has been keeping my PSA under control. However, there are signs that we may have to look at additional therapy going forward. FYI, I am 83 years old and in reasonably good physical shape aside from the cancer. I ride my bicycle 6-8 miles and work in my yard every day
Thank you, Lord!

Its for original cancer Local Regional Distant or upstaged COPY These numbers apply only to the stage of the cancer when it is first diagnosed. They do not apply later on if the cancer grows, spreads, or comes back after treatment.
These numbers don’t take everything into account. Survival rates are grouped based on how far the cancer has spread, but your age and overall health, test results such as the PSA level and Grade Group of the cancer, how well the cancer responds to treatment, and other factors can also affect your outlook.
Men now being diagnosed with prostate cancer may have a better outlook than these numbers show. Treatments improve over time, and these numbers are based on men who were diagnosed and treated at least five years earlier.
