Guest guest Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Sorry to hear the news but as you say, at least it is localized! Keep us updated and good luck with everything! Well I knew my PSA was up from 80 ish to 106 The bone scan and MRI showed a single mass in the left side of my pelvis and pushing on my bladder. The good news is it is localised. The proposal is to irradiate it. I must admit that I expect some side effects but we'll see -- Emersonwww.flhw.org Every 2.25 minutes a man is diagnosed with prostate cancer.Every 16.5 minutes a man dies from the disease.

I have read postings in the past from a number of men who had radiation for bone metastases. It is my understanding that at least some of them never had any more problems at the irradiated site. I hope this really helps. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
