Hi I've recently been diagnosed T3aN1M1. I'm 63 and my psa is high at 105.
I have been on bicalutamide for 4 weeks and the consultant wants to put me on the Decapeptyl injection from next week telling me it's better at keeping the cancer under control by hitting it harder. I'm worried about the side effects and would probably be happy to just keep on with bicalutamide monotherapy.
I am healthy and active in other respects doing lots of exercise and trying to stay ok..
The metastasis is in my ribs, possibly some to the spine and right hip but they may need to do more scans to clarify. I'm guessing I might have a couple of years left but I guess it's hard to say.
Any information regarding whether I should go with the Decapeptyl would be good. All happened fast and still finding it hard to take in.
Thanks
