Hi all,
Brief recap:
Diagnosed Feb '25 - Gleason 8, PSA 35.
Radical prostatectomy with Lymph Node removal Jul '25. Upgraded to Gleason 9 post op. Lymph nodes all clear.
PSA 4.3 at initial review meeting, suspected metastatic spread. 2nd PET scan requested. Started Bicalultamide
Metastatic cancer found from PET scan - Sep '25. Initial Prostrap injection Oct '25
Due to start Triplet therapy Nov '25 (Darolutamide and Docetaxel) + Bisphosphontes and ADCAL
I was after some thoughts on my second meeting with my oncologist - he told me that the PC has indeed spread to my lungs (and now to my pelvis - 1 small area) but not my liver as thought - he still recommended the triplet therapy as we discussed last time.
My PSA has only dropped to 4.2 following a month on Bicalultamide and 2 weeks after the Prostrap injection..should I have expected more?
I have read a few posts/bios on Triplet which have been very helpful and I am feeling confident about starting. My wife is half way through her chemo and coping well, bless her.
The Oncologist said my life expectancy should be around 6-years (average) which was a bit of a shock - although he did say he hoped I would live longer than that.
I am (and my family are too) a bit worried about the 6-year timeframe...I am not sure how to process that information - other than to plan some holidays post chemo...
I think I am just going to ignore the timeline and carry on with life and do as much as I can over the next few years.
How have you dealt with this kind of information??
