My partner is 68, diagnosed in July 2023 ~ Gleason 4 + 5: T3b: M1. PSA 30. Bone scan revealed multiple abnormalities involving the 6th rib, right iliac crest acetabulum and ischium together with the right femoral neck.

Originally on monthly Degarelix injections and recently changed to Prostap 3 monthly injection and daily apalutamide. Had a course of 6 weekly radiotherapy in December. Also taking medroxyprogesterone for severe hot flushes. It’s been 17 months since diagnosis scans.

Feeling anxious on impending new scan results

Hello Virgo Babe and welcome from another Virgo Babe. If you are anything like me then you want to know every minute detail but can also be a bit of a worrier as we like to be in control. My husband is T4, diagnosed in July 2020 but he doesn't have bone mets. Is this a standard maintenance scan or is there a reason why your husband has been sent for one at this time such as a rising PSA? My husband has regular 3 monthly scans because of his type of prostate cancer and it is always an anxious time waiting for the results. Distraction and treating ourselves to an ice cream or coffee out helps. Please let us know the results and, of course, ask any questions you like - we are a friendly bunch.
