I hope it’s a long time. I had that dx 7/2/2018. Still feeling good and enjoying life
I am 4yrs in. I am a G9 with mets to lungs and a hip found in 2016. I underwent chemo and was put on Lupron. In the fall of 2018 I started Zytiga. My PSA has slowly climbed in the last 2 yrs, I have now finished 5 IMRT treatments of 6gy each to my Prostate and a 6gy dose to hip.
We're all somewhat curious about how much time we have left. But no one can really predict with any accuracy. Averages are simply that.
Dwell on what you can do to fight this beast. Research. Ask questions. Pursue all treatment options, including clinical trials. There are many, and more coming sooner than later.
You are your own best advocate. Keep living life one day at a time, and try not to sweat the small stuff.
