Despite Lyns superior knowledge , I was told by my first Onco that DT remains mostly the same whether it is your original cancer or a recurrence after surgery or RT or HT or whatever. My DT has always been consistent at roughly 3 months with a G9 T4 PCa and is expected to be nearly 24 next week. No one would suspect I was I’ll at all. So if your DT is 5 yrs you could be 400 before you die of it. Sorry just being flippant. Just keep monitoring and make life choices based on research and latest developments. Many people just jump into life changing treatments that were only a 50/50 chance of cure at most yet go for it because it is a standard treatment plan offered. I’m so glad my Onco made it clear that in my case RT was probably not a chance for cure which is why I rejected it. My new Onco feels it was a good decision not to have it and save it for pain management later
