Prognoses/longevity
Dear Gentlemen,
Praying for all of you.
Diagnosed 2.5 years ago with Stage 4 prostate cancer that spread to my bones.
PSA <0.1
Original prognoses 4 to 7 years. Doing super well on ADT and Zytiga. Had 3 sets of radiation early on. Full body bone scan shows no visible signs of cancer.
My oncologist won’t tell me if I have a new prognosis.
Please help with your experience of prognosis.
Does the clock start ticking afresh now?
Thank you so much!

similar to my story - diagnosed 4 years ago, they found the bone mets first, I did not have radiation - Lupron ( ADT) and Zytiga - left pompous little Urologist for a brilliant Oncologist. First told me 5 - 7 years but numbers are no longer discussed because the treatment is successful. Of course my life is hugely changed but I am still alive - might get run over by a truck tomorrow but not dying of PCa at this time. Don't worry about numbers - just live each day that you have.
