I've been diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer. The cancer has spread to my sternum, spine and ribs. I've had chemotherapy, radiotherapy and am in 3 monthly hormone therapy injections. Apart from the side effects of treatment I suppose I'm OK. I have asked my oncologist 'how long have I got?'
The reply I always get is: "I still have some patients on my books that have been there 10 years.'
Not knowing is like having a ticking time bomb in you. Not knowing when it's going to go off isn't much fun.
