Stage 4 PC Longevity: Anyone have prostate cancer more than 10 years?

I've been Stage 4, prostate
cancer and metastatic bone cancer for 10 years this fall. I'm on pluvicto now. They've had me on everything. One thing I've avoided was anyone telling me how much time do you have left. I don't want to know and will never ask. All I know is I will die with it and not from it. Humor and life goes on. I eat what I want and go where I please. Attitude has a lot to do with it. The future is mine!

Where is yours/ Did it shrink? Did it stop?
Control only? Did it go to organs brain?
What should I expect
Couldn't have said it better myself. Everyone is different, so never base your outcome on someone else...good or bad. Live your life and keep a positive attitude and don't let your diagnosis get you down. Like you, I'm going to die with prostate cancer, and not from prostate cancer.

I really am trying to keep a very positive attitude about the whole situation. The first two months were mentally and emotionally rough and I do have occasions when I get extremely sad. I am trying to tell myself that I still have 30 years to live. I am retiring from my job next month at the age of 55 as I had planned to do all along. I am really going to take the opportunity to enjoy the more important things in life.
