Hi there,
So I’m age 48, recently diagnosed with advanced PC. Gleason 4+5, PSA 43, T4N1M1. No organ or bone mets, but has travelled to non-local lymph nodes.
Was given an initial 30 day course of androcur, and I am on injections of decapeptyl for life. There is talk of blasting this thing with both radiotherapy and chemo, although waiting to hear from oncologist to get details.
From what I hear, the hormone therapy may last a few months, or could be a few years, or if really lucky, beyond.
I am conscious from the stats I’ve seen that it’s only a 49% chance of getting to the 5 year mark though. :/. I think it’s the uncertainty that’s the most difficult thing to deal with initially.
