Hi
just got the devastating news that my pet scan picked up one bone metastasis in my spine at L3 . I was diagnosed in September with aggressive cancer psa 50 but that time scan showed no bone mets only lymph node & prostate spread . The plan was chemo to shrink tumor & rT as curative intent . But now this bone met the rt dose will be palliative rather than curative . I am going for another mri to make sure it’s a met and not degeneration Bcos psa has fallen down significantly with chemo plus size of prostate & the lymph nodes have almost disappeared! So doesn’t make sense how spread to bone happened
would be reassuring to know how many of you out there have bone mets and how long you have had it ?? Just terrified if I am gone in like 6 months ! I am just 49
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 so
pleased 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.
