relapse.Now what? Years to live 8-10? At age 51 my psa was 20. I had my prostate removed with a gleason rating of (3+5)=8. Prostate carcinoma T3a, n1, mo. One lymph node positive. Received radiation therapy and 2 years of hormone therapy. Got report from Johns Hopkins that I am high risk for relapse (50%-60%). If relapse occurs, possible 8 to 12 years to live after prostate was removed. I have found the Lord! I am in the process of commiting to a healthy diet, and exercise. Now 54 years I'm trying to realistic about the future, retirement and how to live my life.
