It's in your bones. The bones that hold up your body as well as the bones that support your arms and legs. They also note your 4th rib. Are you in pain? What are they doing for it?

[Ankitsharma021290 in reply to Tall_Allen]

Treatment is going on.... Psa down to 167 to 0.16 ... And he was not able to walk while daignosed. Now the situation is better now ... He is moving now.. He is walking slowly slowly... But m afraid now.... He is zytiga +firmagon... Till now.... 6 shot has been done.

[LearnAll in reply to Ankitsharma021290]

The treatment is controlling his cancer as evident by fall in PSA. Its a good news.

Why are you afraid now after such good results of treatment ?

[Ankitsharma021290 in reply to LearnAll]

Thanks......i was in doubt that is that spread to lymph nodes or lever....now dr is planning to do orchiectomy ..dont know why...but they said...firmagon and orchiectomy has same results ...

[Tall_Allen in reply to Ankitsharma021290]

Ask his doctor if Xofigo is available in your country. If he is also taking Zytiga, he must take it with a bone-preserving medicine, like Zometa or Xgeva.

Yes, they are similar in effects.

[Ankitsharma021290 in reply to Tall_Allen]

[Tall_Allen in reply to Ankitsharma021290]

Men taking celecoxib with zoledronate enjoyed a 22% increase in survival.

Doctor suggested to do orchiectomy and this has been processed on 21 dec 2019.

Till than the condition is not good .he is recovering from the operation side effect.

Also , this 1 year is going to pass on but still the PSA is not undetectable.

should we take a serious note on it or its normal.

Like T A said..its metastasis to the bone. Over 90% prostate cancers spread to bones.

Axial skeleton means vertebral column (spine) and perpendicular involves areas of upper thigh and arm bones and pelvis. These are common sites of spread.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
