Subject: 44 Years Old - Stage T4/m2
Date: 04/26/2006
I was shocked to find out i had prostate cancer at this age and at the advanced stage it is in.
I had surgery to remove my prostate. The cancer is in the lymph nodes and they are not sure where else. As of now there is no evidence that it has spread to the bone as a bone scan was performed.
I am currently undergoing chemo and the plan is to start harmone deprivation therapy after chemo. My oncologist says his goal is to give me 40 years. I feel like he is just trying to make me feel beeter about the outlook.
Anyone ever heard of this stage prostate cancer at such a young age? I am worried about my longevity as i have young children.
I am currently impotent due to the removal of nerves during surgery.also am taking some herbs, pau d arco tea and habanero tincture.
Anyone have any other tips. How long do you think i have realistically?
