I was diagnosed with an aggressive type of prostate cancer in Nov 21. Prostatectomy in Mar 22 and thought all was ok until early 23 when my PSA level rose rapidly. The cancer had spread to my spine, ribs, hips and right femur. Chemotherapy (Doxatel) in May-Jun 23, 6 sessions booked but was pulled after 3 sessions due to adverse effects on my lungs. Radiotherapy in Nov 23 and Jan 24 to my upper and lower spine. Sep 24 my PSA levels rose from 0.01 to 2.59 in a few weeks, a scan showed it was back on my hips. Radiotherapy on 7 Nov and hormone/steroid treatment starts tomorrow for as long as it takes. Added to this I discovered I had fractured vertebrae in Sep last year and this year which I thought was a bad back LOL. I’m 70 but already planning for my 90th birthday 
I believe positive thinking really does help.
Hello David996
A warm welcome to our "exclusive club".
All I can say is you have been "through the mill" BUT you look like you have a great team looking after you and as you say "positive thinking" is part of the plan.
I will only be 89 (I hope) on your planned celebrations so do look out for two old guys in the corner with a half pint of something very strong - that will be me and David2017 !! 
.
On a more serious note (yes we do that stuff too) if you need anything or want any help advice you know where we are - we are a decent bunch!!
Please keep in touch and let us know how the RT/HT/Steroid treatment goes on - we are here for you.
Best wishes - Brian.
