new here was diagnosed with very aggressive pc Dec. 2022
My biopsy showed 12 of 12 positive 5x4's and 4x3's a very high 9. I'm 78 and went with radiation 44 treatments with hormone injection every 3 months plus hormone tablet everyday. I know y'all are in the same boat but I guess my question is when will I start to feel the effects of the cancer? Im a born again christian with Jesus in my heart so I'm not fearful of death besides at 78 I've already lived a very blessed life. I'll be watching for any response thanks Bill

Bill - new to the forum and just ran across your post - hope you're doing well. We are on similar paths - my Gleason was 9 and PSA was over 100 in Jan 2017 - did the radiation journey, pills, etc, etc. And while the term "very aggressive" is frequently used by my Dr. team, surprisingly, I'm still here. I'm also 78 and I think you just have to take it a day at a time - enjoy life each day and appreciate the good things you've experienced.
