Bone mets

What can you do for bone mets in your pelvis area when the doctor says no radiation

I assume that is because you've already had a lot of radiation there? Perhaps Xofigo, which is a kind of targeted radiation. Chemo and advanced hormone therapy should help with the pain too.

Start chemo next week 6 months infusion every 3 weeks Sure hope it works

I had two mets in my pelvis area and had chemo, lupron and Zytega. After chemo I had radiation directly to the 2 mets. Lots of questions to understand. What meds are you on now and what have you done previously. Are you considered castrate resistant ? Why is your dr telling you no radiation there ? Is he an oncologist that specializes in prostate cancer ? Have you gone to a teaching hospital ?

Already had to much radiation and this is from a radiation oncologist

I had external radiation to my pelvic area, then seeds implant, in 2000. I was told then that there could be no further radiation yto that area.

My husband got Strontium and a mini-chemo to radio-sensitize the cells to the strontium. It worked beautifully on his bone mets. The chemo you get might help with the bone mets. His Strontium treatment was after a 6 rounds of chemo infused every three weeks. (He had a lot of cancer)

The first chemo got rid of a lot of his cancer just not everything.. so then the Doctor did the Strontium and mini-chemo to mop up the rest of the cells.

It has been over six months and his scans have been good .. so it must have helped. I bet your treatment will work well!

Lots of prayers and hugs to get you through your 6 rounds!

Have you had radiation in the same location?

Chemotherapy resolved my mets and they were replaced by new Jone growth.

Chemo.

And these new PSMA based treatments.

Oh and Provenge as well.

Zometa treatment has helped me with pain as well as slowing osteoporosis.
