You are going to need a course of Chemo! This IMO Only. And I would get a Chromogranin A---blood test. This is to check for NEPca cell activity.This test if positive or negative can help choose the best Chemo agent to be used.

Wish well my friend bu dont forget to walk!
What did you think of the hormonal therapy! This is the second time I had to do it! I found that it wasn't as bad as the first time! I also had Provenge treatment in 2012 but it did not work!

That’s a hard blow to take . Sorry for this uptick . Hope that you can lay it back to rest. I was #4 non -op,dx also 3-15 same year as you. RT &adt to date. No signs ,PSA < .004. So when I see your story I acknowledge that we all are in limbo awaiting what we all know is a most likely return and another round of fun. I pray for your success in jumping these current hurdles... Take care. Scott

With multiple mets on the skull and spine, you should consider docetaxel ASAP. You can follow with abiraterone after 6 cycles.
Thanks for input, will discuss with onco, scan shows only two spots, one on skull and one on spine
In that case, abiraterone should be fine for now.
