How long before relapse occurs or ADT fails?

Hi all I had my prostate out in 2014. Earlier this year in April my prostate count went up to 1.79. and it had moved into my lymph notes. So at this moment in time, I am stage four. Having chemo and hormone injections. I don’t actually know what the outcome is going to be. So having your prostate out, doesn’t actually mean you’re cured. if you do have your prostate out, I’d recommend you going for a six-month blood test. my doctors miss mine. This is why am at stage four

Yes I was put on Zolodex right away for 18 month BUT 2 years later it was in my L1 lumbar which I had then radiated and put back on Zolodex. Never should have taken it off
This Jan in L2 lumbar so put me on Xtandi and Xgeva 78 now had radiation in 2017 so 6 year of travels but feel great
PSA back down from 9.8 in Jan to 1.7
Enjoy every day

You are right. There are also people who are on hormone for 10-15 years or more without 'progress' or relapse. So what is a cure and what is remission? The line seems blurred.
