Hi I am writing for Dad from India - his PC has just metastasised to the liver. His gleason score in 2013 was 9. I am reading your posts and believe me it is so encouraging and informative. Thank you all for coming together.

Good Wednesday Morning jakez,

I have been in this battle for almost six years (please see bio for complete treatment history).

Like your Dad, in September 2017 I was diagnosed with mets in liver. Began chemo with a Docetaxel/Carboplatin combo and PSA dropped from 10.8 to .4 after 6 cycles and liver mets improved.

Don't let your Dad give up, as there are treatments available.

Best wishes. Never Give In.

Mark, Atlanta

Good luck with your dad. I'm a newly diagnosed Gleason 9.

Any way you can get him here in the States?.... I presume we can offer him a better outcome here.

Good Luck and Good Health.

my dad was also diagnosed with mCRPCa and had several treatments (zytiga, docetaxel). On ultrasound there were hepatic cysts seen. We will ask onco if these are mets. May I ask you how was your dad diagnosed with liver mets? Thank you
