The Mayo oncologist did start off with " looks like you have done everything right so far". This was a reference to IMRT and Lupron.
Every situation is different so you will need to find the Doc that works for you
It does start out as a deep dark hole. It was the worst psych trauma my wife and I have been thru (52yrs). Every test and scan showed a worse situation and the R. Onconcologist (not Mayo) would not return my calls. I ended up on Xanax. Rest assured it does get better. I no longer take or need xanax.

Update from Spryguy:
I am now 3 yrs from diagnosis.
PSA is undetectable. I am off of Zytiga, Prednisone, and the Lupron is starting to wear off.
Dr Moore (Mayo Oncologist) is calling it remission. Working on weight and dealing with fatigue (Nap everyday for an hour) and the dam(n) hot flashes.
So mostly GOOD outcome with some negatives thrown in. I hope all you guys can have at least this kind of outcome. God Bless
