  • 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.
