prostate cancer back again

Hi all im derek (rikthemush, not my choice of nick name)

Not good at this computer stuff but will give it a try, diagnosed 6 years ago advanced prostate cancer had to have surgery, which brought my p.s.a.down to 0.01 but the cancer came back and i had to have 30 sessions of radiotherapy which brought on the usual side effects but calmed the cancer down, another 3 years down the line and it has returned so i have just started a course of hormone therapyand am unsure of the journey ahead, so any chat may be helpful.
