Hello - I posted recently that my PC spread to the liver. If yours did as well and would be willing to tell me about your experience/treatment I would love to know.

My profile tells you about me - but in brief:

dx- 1/2017 - regional

GS - 9

RP - 2/2017

SRT with ADT - from 9/5/17 to 10/31/17

PSA - 4.6

Being treated at MSK

Thanks, Ken

Hi Ken,

Prostate cancer spread to my liver in September 2017 with 20+ lesions on MRI. After CT guided biopsy, immediately began chemo with Docetaxel/Carboplatin combo for 6 cycles. PSA declined and lesions smaller and less defined. After a 4 month rechallenge with Xtandi, had another 6 cycles of same chemo combo with similar successful result, but PSA took off to 48 after completion of chemo. Again having rechallenge with Xtandi, and by month, PSA has dropped from 48 to 30 to 14 to 3. It is a miracle for me.

Best Wishes. Never Give In.

Yes, Xtandi worked for me for about 12 months well in advance of first chemo.

How high did your bilirubin get? Just curious as our oncologist says options limited with high bilirubin

Dr. Shamsuddin has consulted with the Chinese health system on liver cancer and IP6. Apparently, there is a very high incidence of liver cancer in the country. He discusses this in his book:

IP6 has a strong affinity for liver cancer cells.
