Hi Everybody

I am Charles, live around Toronto area, Canada.

Dx at 51 in Feb 2020 with Advanced metastatic disease. Lymph nodes and almost every bone in my body. Gleason 7 PSA 300.

Realising that I have a very limited life expectancy has given me an urgency about living. I had all kinds of plans for my future, and scrapped most of them, everything that was a long term goal.

Thank God my employer offer a good insurance package, and I almost immediately applied for Long term disability.

So, now at 52 I am officially retired. I was planning to travel, but who knew Covid would ruin those plans. LOL. I try to enjoy every day, manage my pain, see the good in even small achievements.

I have so much to be thankful for,

Is this forum for age < 60 or diagnosed < 60?

For example, was PCa diagnosed at 57, but I'm 60 years old.
