I have updated my guide "How to Estimate Your Prostate Cancer Cure Odds". It now has a new home on the HealthMad website at http://healthmad.com/conditions-and-diseases/how-to-estimate-your-prostate-cancer-cure-odds/.
I noticed lots of men and partners show up on discussion forums, newly diagnosed, desperate to find out what their survival time might be, or the chances of a cure. So I incorporated and explained the tools available from reputable sites to do that.
It is certainly possible to find out the long term probabilities, but the patient should bear in mind that the probabilities really apply to large groups of men, and cannot predict with certainty the outcome for any one individual.
