Hi all, second post from me but this time my husband is keen to hear from others in a similar situation. 

briefly, he was diagnosed at the end of May with stage 4,  Gleason 9, spread to pelvic wall and multiple lymph nodes.  the oncologist said prognosis 18-24 months but if treatment works then maybe 4 years.  My husband is finding this prognosis so difficult to comes to terms with.  I have tried to reassure him that this may not be the case as I have read on here of lots in a similar situation that have surpassed this time.  
We are still in complete shock and my husband still feels really angry as he had been back and forth to see the GP for a couple of years with, what we know now, many symptoms of prostate cancer and maybe if he hears about guys in a similar situation then it may help.

thank you all x
