  • It has already metastasized in his bones, so it’s much more aggressive than most prostate cancers. After metastasizing there, three 5-year survival rate is about 33% with a median survival time of 21 months. But it’s also very rare for it to have already spread elsewhere before being caught, so I’m assuming that means that this is even more aggressive than normal and that 21 months would be optimistic. But I’m not a medical professional, so I can’t say how valid this assumption is.

    Are you not aware of the different forms of English? There are several differences between American English and British English, “spelled” and “spelt” being one example.

    Collins and Merriam-Webster are both American English dictionaries, and the Oxford English Dictionary is a British English dictionary.

    I think about better example for you to follow would be how “a napron” turned into “an apron.”

    However, I’m not a fan of “noone” as it doesn’t look like it would be pronounced as “no one.” It could perhaps be “no-one” or “noöne”, but they seem off as well. And very few people use umlauts in English to signify that the two consecutive vowels are separate sounds (The New Yorker is the only publicaton that I know about that does this, but I’m not sure if they stopped).
