Hi everyone
So I said that I would let you all know how my biopsy went,
My History
T3B N1 M0
Age now 67
Cancer spread to lymph nodes in 2020
High risk and aggresive and Gleason 9
Sarted right away at the time on 2 years hormone treatment
2021 Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy
PSA 0.01 after treatment until February 2025
Then increaeed throughout the year, in February 2026 PSA was 1.7
I had a biopsy after a psma pet/ct scan which found the cancer had gone walk about
To the nodes/areas as follows-
Abdomin
Ribs/bones
Left side of neck
Spine - multiple areas
I adimted to hospital last Sunday and had another MRI scan as I could not get up or walk.
I was told that the cancer had also spread to multiple areas of my spine but no spinal compression
The reason for me not walking was Multie disc degenerative disease I also have radiotherapy damage to L5-S1
I came home after 5 days in hospital with a catheter to help me and new pain relief (progabaline)
along with oromorhe which has to be stepped up from every 4 to every 2 hours if needed.
Also came home with a zimmer frame on wheels and a stick
My left leg is not as it should be along with left neck and shoulder pain
Pain 24/7 Stars in buttocks
middle lower background the groin down my thigh and 10/10 pain at the front from knee to my foot
(This is the multi degenerative disease mentioned above)
I'm home and taking things easy, without feeling sorry for myself
I saw many Doctors and see th Oncologist on Tues for the bigger picture "the prognosis " and if I want the treatment offered before this happed (apalutamide) but the treatment offer may change
So thats were I'm up to for now
Love to all my friends on hear
Take care
Spud
