Metastatic Prostate CA beyond pelvic lymph nodes CA traveling up to nodes in neck/cervical area?
My Mike has prostate cancer in his lymph nodes-so far only in his lymph nodes- taking jevtana chemo right now - has taken Zytiga, xtandi, provenge Immunetherapy, & radiation. He has terrible constipation in his intestines now - terrible pain- all this started in Dec 2012
I also have stage 4, with mets all over my body, bones, lymph, spine, skull, etc..
I am taking jevtana chemo, and HT, yes I have some complications and side effects
but I am still fighting.

Dx Nov 2013 Very Metastatic Prostate Cancer at Age 65
Numerous Bone Mets and Lymph Nodes, top to bottom, PSA 5,006
ADT Lupron + Zometa, PSA Nadir 1.0
Resistance after two years.
Short rechallenge Casodex.
Oct 2016 Provenge
Dec 2016 Start Xtandi at PSA 95
Jul 2017 PSA 1.5
I was diagnosed before the results of the CHAARTED/STAMPEDE trials recommending initial ADT + Early Chemo (Docetaxel). In hindsight, I would have considered that had it been offered. Also in hindsight, I would have started Provenge and Zytiga or Xtandi before my resistant PSA went back up as high as 95.
I have also attended multiple Prostate Cancer and Cancer support groups during the past 3 years and 9 months. They have been quite helpful.
