What are the Odds No Cancer Ever Returns After a radical prostatectomy

In 2018 I had 40 days of radiation Then on Zolodex for 1 year I should have stayed on it longer as PC metastasized to L2 spine and T 2 and T12
I then had Intense radiation on L2 lumbar like a GPS that took out 7/8 inch of prostate metastatic cancer. I went back on Zolodex and PSA dropped from 26 to 1.2 Testosterone is the fertilizer for pc. so, forget sex The Zolodex also wore down the other spots by starving them of testosterone.
I am stage 4 but castrate SENSITIVE metastatic PC versus RESISTIVE meaning that ADT is working for me again for 2 years. If I were castrate resistive, they would put me on Enzalutamide which is chemo in a daily pill and then the clock starts to tick.
No side effects in 6 years just caution with my back which hurts if I need to go poopo as the rectum sh#t pushes on the L2 L4 etc

Different word choices? When I talk about side-effects, I was including "Testosterone is the fertilizer for pc. so, forget sex" and the other results of not having testosterone. Maybe you call those "effects"?
The effect I want is at least as good and long of a life as I would have had without PCa. Everything else is a cost for that desired outcome.
Of course what I REALLY want is indefinitely long life in excellent health at, say, physical age 25. Don't think I'm going to get that one, though.
