Diagnosed at 74, G 9, CR, locally advanced had RP, 13 months ADT and Erleada, now 77 and PSA .01, feeling good. Good luck, keep a good attitude!
71
I was diagnosed in Sept 2022, at age 58. Treated with hi dose Proton radiation and ADT, in May 2023, age 59. Doing well, psa now .23. Was stage 1 intermediate, Gleason 4+3/7. Doing well enough that my Oncologist has passed me off to his PA.
69, stage 4 one year into the journey, still rocking just not as fast
I was diagnosed with Gleason 3+3 in December 2021. Been on active surveillance. Just turned 71. Still on active surveillance, but will need an MRI Guided Prostate Biopsy in the next few months. It will be my 3rd Biopsy, but my 1st MRI guided one. Have had 2 MRI's and one was with 1.5 Tesla magnet resulting in a PI-RADS score of 2. Most recent MRI used a newer 3.0 Tesla magnet with a score of PI-RADS score of 3. I keep busy reading all I can on Prostate Cancer, diet, exercise, and newer treatments.
diagnosed at 69 now 71
Operated on 2004 , Gleason 4+3, had 36 radiation treatments. No return of PSA for 6 years. Did 9 years of Lupron/Ellegard. Hated it! PSA doubled in past 5 months. Just had PSMA scan Monday. Learn results Friday.
It's just hard at times but enjoy the good times.

81, Gleason=6 , current PSA 5.5,
About to start Lutron & abiraterone
A good question, since all these treatments have come out in the last 10 years. Why did MLK junior and OJ Simpson die from this- wish I knew more about their stories
