I just cannot believe that you had to go through all of this misdiagnosis, treatment etc., etc.! There is simply no excuse for what you are going through!
I am 83 years old and was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer 12 years ago as a patient at Mayo clinic. As a result of being properly diagnosed and treated over the past 12 years, I have been blessed with pretty much a normal life. I realize that the battle is far from over and that there will be difficult days ahead.
My prayers go up to you in the battles you will be facing. just try to hang in there and put your trust in God!

I was just diagnosed a with Stage 4 a few weeks ago. I'm 54. I am now taking Abiraterone and Prednisol. Next week I get my first shots of Xgeva and Lupron from my oncologist at Phelps in Westchester. What meds have you taken that have been so successful? I'm learning so much, so quickly about something I never expected

How are you today?

I learned just last Friday, Feb 14, that I have prostate cancer (Gleason score 8, PSA 10) and I am waiting for a CT scan and a bone scan if the cancer has spread.

I am 68 and and wishes several more years to live and see my grand kids grow.

Reading your story of 12 years plus, living a pretty normal life gives me hope.

Thank you.
