I had the same diagnosis 23 years ago. I’ve had several recurrences since, radiation treatments and hormone therapy. Two years ago I got a PSMA PET scan which showed four cancerous pelvic lymph nodes only. I had them radiated and went on Nubeqa for 24 months, which ends day after tomorrow. My current PSA is < 0.008. I’m hoping it stays that way. Whatever treatment you consider get the best scan you can get and be as aggressive as you can to kill whatever cancer you may have. Good luck. You have lots of company.

It’s now been nearly a year since I went off all treatments. PSA remains < 0.008. Undetectable. Tips from my experience: Stay vigilant, monitor PSA at regular intervals, if PSA rises, get the most sensitive scan you can, and treat when appropriate, not forgetting radiation, which is not your granddad’s variety. It’s much improved. Don’t rush into treatment. Above all remain hopeful. Best wishes.
