Bone mets

I have advanced prostrate cancer diagnosed in July 2021. I'm on Hormone therapy and doing fine. I was told 5 to 7 years on current treatment but research for new treatment is moving fast. There will be many more on this forum who can offer some long term positive stories. I don't think this is necessarily a death sentence anymore.      

Thanks for the reply 

that’s reassuring 5 to 7 years . Did you have radiotherapy? Or just HT only ? 

Hi,

I've been on 12 week Zoladex jabs since May 2020, with virtually no side effects, (I was Gleason 9). Maybe I'm lucky, but PC is not a death sentence anymore! My PSA is fairly constant at around 1 sopleased all round. I'm told I'll be on HT for life, but hey, if it keeps me going I'm happy!

So keep positive everyone, and best wishes to all.

HT only, as cancer was contained within the gland thankfully.

Just HT. I have my first follow up this week so I will ask the oncologist more about bone mets and keeping the cancer growth at bay. 

Hi Sussex

can I ask how many bone Mets you have please.

Hubby too has bone Mets, but at the moment he looks and acts as if nothing is wrong with him.

Lots. I really don't know. I find low impact gym work and cycling easy and have no pain. Walking long distances will get slightly painful and I noticed pain yesterday whilst digging. I have my first follow up later this week so I'm going to ask for more information on bone mets and how the drugs will manage them .

Hi sussex

Can you let me know how it goes please.  I am going to try to find out off local nurse this week how many hubby has.  I think he has lots too. 
Thanks. Ginny

Have you got bone mets ? If so where all & how much is your psa now ? What HT therapy are u on ? Thanks
