I have just been diagnosed with bone cancer from prostate cancer and would like to know how fast this will spread and what treatments are available
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to hear that you've just been diagnosed with secondary bone cancer and it's perfectly normal to want to know how quickly it might spread and what treatments are available.
Could I suggest that you join the prostate cancer and secondary bone cancer groups where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support.
To join just click on the links I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the pages that open. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute it would be really useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
