Ignoring small prostate cancer to zap large bone cancer on hip!

[Guest guest]

When my small prostate cancer was diagnosed in July, 2008, every indication was thatwatchful waiting was appropriate to manage the date when it would be removed or zapped.My urologists ordered regular P.S.A. blood tests, which always ran about 3.3.By March of 2009, I had some mysterious falls and was beginning to have severe painin the right hip, knee, and leg.Tonight I'm sitting here all marked up for my first radiation treatment, which is scheduledfor Tuesday. How did I jump from watchful waiting with a still-small prostate cancer to astage 2 bone cancer on my hip and pubic bone?Everyone was shocked to find a huge tumor on my right hip. Several biopsies wereperformed, but the expert in Boston was

certain: "Histologically, much of the specimemshows firbrofatty tissue with fibrovascular granulation tissue. Scattered throughout is amalignant neoplasm consisiting of mildly hyperchromatic spindle cells distributed in acopious myxocondroid mattix, which findings are consistent with a myxoid chrondrosarcoma."If any one else has been here and done that, I'd sure like to chat with you!
