Hello everybody. This is my first post in the forum. My father was diagnosed with advanced metastatic prostate cancer a month ago. PSA 575. Bone mets at multiple sites. He was diagnosed because he was having lots of bone pain, especially in the pelvis region. He could walk but sitting and getting up was painful, and there were general pains. Turns out he had two small fractures on the left pubic bone. Started ADT (casodex, lupron), zoledronic acid for bones. Had a radiation session too. A few days ago, he developed another fracture this time on the right pubic bone, a bit bigger one. Now very difficult to walk and he's so much in pain with only temporary relief from painkillers.
I searched a lot pubic bone fractures and mPC, but didn't find a lot of relevant results. I am curious as to why is that. Are such fractures common in advanced PC? I need help to chalk out the scenario for the future from those who have had more experience with this disease. Seeing my dad in pain is excruciating.
Thanks a lot.
