Hello davand
A warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community - however I am so sorry to find you here. I am Brian one of the Community Champions here on the online community and am in the 4th year of my personal prostate cancer journey.
The Community is divided up into cancer specific groups or forums and I would advise you to join us on the Prostate Cancer Group where you will meet others on the same or similar journey. Here's the link you need:
Just click on the link I have provided and once the page opens up, click on the black banner at the bottom of the page to join the group. Once you have joined us you can either copy and paste or repost your original post in the "New Here - Say Hello" section. I can assure you of a friendly welcome and plenty of replies.
I look forward to "meeting" you again in "our" part of the Community.
Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Davand, and welcome from a fellow metastatic prostate cancer patient, as Brian has suggested, please join the prostate forum guys and girls, they are a wonderful group of knowledgeable, friendly people who will happily support you on your journey.
Our cancer, being aggressive, needs an aggressive treatment, which can cause problems either directly or indirectly and so side effects are to be expected my friend, and well understood by your medical team, so you must mention any and all issues to them, as there will usually be something they can do to help. So please explore all options before considering stopping a treatment, as often you can't return to it.
Best wishes on finding a solution for your leg pain, and of course your cancer treatment, I'm sure the guys on the PCa forum will be a great help.
