Agreed but Fussy is new to this cancer business and he may still be in shock. It took me a long time to adjust to cancer and my prognosis and time and some prescriptions meds helped me to think clearer and to adjust to the new reality. Hence, we all need our space and we do not have to listen to each word, just get the gist of the post.

Hbp:
Very kind and generous.
Fuzzy was dx'd 1 year ago; has had radiation and ADT; and is in remission. He is on Abiraterone and prednisone; a more recent development and combination of meds.
With much respect for your advanced PCa, my sense is that Fuzzy may have been told that he has a 50% chance of recurrence in 5 yrs. At which time, there are other txs available today, and hopefully additional txs then.
With G 9 and EPE, and BCR at 90 days post RP, together with salvage radiation and ADT, I must anticipate a very high liklihood (almost a guarantee) of future recurrence. Hell, I am still waiting and praying for undetectable PSA and evidence of remission at my Nov 2023 PSA testing. That will be over 18 mos of continous testing and treatment with no "quiet period ".
Many on this site have experienced a number of "events" over time and medication changes/challenges, and are grateful for the improvements and advances. And handled it all with dignity and grace. As you have.
Of course, we all wish and pray for "more and better".
God Bless us all.
