Commencing treatment in a couple of weeks after a well earned break in Rhodes

Hi Eikcorb

I think this is the best option if in the node (s) , it's good that specialist sounds relatively positive.

Yes Def still potentially curable although no guarantee obviously once in node(s).

So fingers crossed everything will be ok.

Best wishes

Hello Eikcorb 

That's an interesting post. I think you have a decent oncologist who is going the "whole hog" to get you on a Curative Pathway.

HT from 13 May should have put the cancer to sleep even though it's a Gleason 9 (it's worked as your PSA has gone from 44 to 1,9).  The 6 doses of Chemotherapy should shrink the cancer and at the end of this treatment he intends to hit everything with Radiotherapy.

Radiotherapy these days is very targeted and there's a good chance of avoiding any bladder damage so go for it. (I had RT to the Prostate and Pelvis with hardly any side effects).

It sounds like a cracking plan - please do keep us posted as to how you get on.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Eikcorb , your consultant sounds to be going after whatever is lurking around and hearing the word curative is very encouraging.  A long way to go, but on the right path.
