Degrees of weirdness

I guess being told we had 5-6 years would produce different reactions with younger men being more upset. When you get to your eighties you know that you only have a comparatively few years left regardless of whether you have PCa, so are more likely to take it in your stride and think about it less. I was diagnosed back in 2007 and did my very best to get what I judged was the best treatment for me. When my primary treatment failed I was naturally downcast but looked for further treatment and yet further treatment when that failed. With the exception of the treatment leading to ED, I have not let PCa affect the way I spend my life and by and large have been able to do this albeit with time spent on check up MRI's and blood tests and of course the time spent having treatment and recovery. I don't think PCa has changed me as a person or my goals in life. I look at PCa like any other problem I encounter, do what I can to address it and if there is nothing that can be done just accept it, carry on and adddress the next problem that comes along. Of cousre some have advanced cancer and it must be an unavoidable and constant concern. Like much else in life it's the luck of the draw, so make the most of the hand you are dealt.
