My husband was diagnosed Feb 2017 with stage 4PC which metastasized to his bones (left femur, t4&6 and on two ribs). He was put on Lupron right away along with another hormonal drug. He completed 6 doses of docetaxel- with very little side effects. We found out 2 months later his PSA went up and cancer spread further in his bones. Doctor put him on Zytiga and in just one month his PSA went from 31 to 688. Her rapidly declined and we were told end of January he only had about 2 months to live. His cancer metastasized to his lungs microscopitly so it wasn't showing up in CAT scan. They found it doing an angiogram while in hospital for 3.5 weeks. He was on 4-6 liters of oxygen, went from golfing and healthy in October to bring oxygen and using a wheelchair. He last almost 50 pounds in just a few months. Thank God we changed oncologists and he's now on Cabazy with prednisone. His highest PSA was 1138 while in hospital. After first dose of cabazitaxel it dropped to 124. He's now going to complete his 5th dose and PSA is still drooping (34). He's gained over 30 pounds and is off oxygen, and now golfing again- thank you Jesus! Oncologist said he'll remain on cabazitaxel as long as it keeps working and it doesn't start to harm his body. Keep up the good fight and get second or third opinions of needed!
God bless all of you!
