Been dealing with it for a year. Been on hormone therapy which had appeared to have arrested it somewhat, although it already had spread to the bones in my spine before being discovered. Now they have discovered a cancerous mass on my colon, so facing surgery. But otherwise, I feel fine and still active. What else would you like to know?

@dancingtongue thank you for sharing I'm not sure what I'm going to do about treatment and I think I have good Drs for that. I'm concerned that my sex life is over and what other side affects I'll be dealing with. I'm sorry it's happening to you

@Joe5663 Well, my partner already was in Assisted Living and dying so my sex life was over. The hormonal therapy, which essentially stops the production of testosterone which is what the prostate cancer feeds on, pretty much kills what sex drive you have left. Which actually makes it easier. You still like to look and admire, but the lustful desire is not there.
