I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer stage three in 2018 was put on a clinical trial and had radiotherapy on the prostate and also on the pelvic bone. My PSA has stayed at a steady level until now.

it has reoccurred in my prostate the cancer, but is also gone to my lymph nodes in my prostate, and the clinical trial team have told me that the only treatment I can have now is hormone injections, and no more other treatment.

I just like to ask if anybody else has had the same symptoms and should I take a second opinion and what do you think the outcome might be as I’m very concerned.
