So when diagnosed, you chose to live life and what happens happens?

I am currently 68, still living with stage 4 prostate cancer, metastatic. Diagnosed at age 57, probably had it at 53…

I was diagnosed at 60 but probably had it at 57 or 58. Had Davinci RP at 65. I’m just over 1 year with no reoccurrence yet thankfully however I’m still healing and have had issues. Life has changed certainly post prostatectomy.

Not yet, going thru SCO: ADT(Nubeqa)+Docetaxel+Eligard.

Last chemo will be Jan 2023, after it will see what is the status and next steps...

I'm 71. Seven months ago I had my prostate removed. PSA testing every three months. Grateful for this network of information and support, and wishing everyone good health.

I am now 71, one year after robot assisted radical prostatectomy. I had a Gleason score of 7 (4+3), and my recovery has progressed quite well over the past year.

This year, at 84, I was diagnosed and started Hormone therapy and have just completed 28 Radiation treatments. My Gleason score was 4 / 4 = 8. It is my understanding I am too old for surgery. I don't have any other debilitating health issues. (That I know of) My hope is the treatments will delay the inevitable. More will be revealed.
