What is the average age of the gentlemen on here?

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

I was diagnosed 6+ years ago at age 51 with Gleason 4+3=7. Surgery with subsequent undetectable PSA for about 10 months, then a recurrence. Then did radiation with two years of ADT. About a year later it came back and I did spot radiation at Mayo and on my last three months of 18 months of ADT. I wish I started the process at Mayo.

Diagnosed early last year at 57. PSA was only 2.0, but climbing, All 15 biopsy samples came back hot … about half with cribiforms. Removed prostate in June, clear margins. PSA only dropped to 0.17. Has risen since to 0.75 in January, 2024. Nothing definitive on new MRI or bone scan. PET scan is tomorrow. Younger means we have more time to fight and win. It is priceless. Good luck.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 (oligometastatic) prostate cancer at age 56.

Hi John. My husband was diagnosed in April 2021 at 52. Stage 4a. He had his prostrate removed and 33 rounds of radiation and two years of aberaterone, lupron and daily steroid.

He is 11 months off treatment and PSA is undetectable.

How are you doing four years out from diagnosis?

I am 53 year old, I was diagnosed in 2021, And has a Gleason score of 9.
