Treatment issues

Hi Skippy,

We also starting the journey few weeks ago with similar diagnostic to yours (just read your profile). The handover from urology to oncology is part of the process. In a way, urology finished their job and oncology take over. I know, it is very difficult to wait for the news about the liver MRI, however what the oncologist told us is that where ever the PC spread it is still a PC and therefore the treatment path remains the same. 

Let us know the news and good luck with everything

Best wishes

Dafna

Hello Skippy.

Dafna is quite correct that IF there is metastatic spread to any part of the body it is still treated in the same basic way. After doing a little digging it would seem that a combination of chemotherapy drugs might be used if there is some liver involvement rather than just the single docetaxel. Please let us know what your scan says. 

Hello Skippy1959  Not the best news BUT it's still treatable with Chemo - Oncology will get you sorted and I am sure you will be given the best possible treatment. We are with you on this journey and it's easy for me to say - be positive, think positive and you will help yourself to a good outcome.

Keep us posted - Best wishes - Brian.

Thanks Dafna I did not want to use Dr Google as I have come to only trust this group and prostate cancer uk, I find searching the internet very unhelpful for my mental well-being. The support I receive here is really helpful
