Metastic prostate Cancer Survivors - longevity and quality of life
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: Sep 1, 2023 | Replies (124)Comment receiving replies
I was first diagnosed at age 46 with prostate cancer & Gleason score 9. Was treated in Toronto with HIFU, three years later PC was back, had prostate removed. Surgeon couldn’t remove everything due to scar tissue from HIFU. Three years later the cancer returned and had 40 days of radiation. Two years after radiation I was diagnosed with chronic mylogenous leukemia, in remission, Tasigna twice daily. December 2021 the PC returned, PSA doubling every two months. I have no insurance and am not undergoing any treatment.
I am wondering about how long will this take to kill me?

What is your current age? You mentioned diagnosis at 46. I am sure you have checked into your state's medical insurance options.

Wish I knew what to say to that, However, if possible, can you get into a program , most drug manufacturers have an option to get needed meds to us who are not able to affort the crazy costs. I would concentrate of getting the PSA down. Try getting ahold of some meds that seem to have an advanced action called Erleada. Stay with it, I would definitley advance the idea of following up , again with the radiologist !!
