Hello,
I wondered what people's thoughts are on the following: Which is more important where you start your diagnosis, or how you respond to treatment? If a man diagnosed with wide spread bone mets manages to get his PSA to an undetectable level with aggressive chemo/hormone treatment, is he then in a better position than a man diagnosed with, say a lymph node met, who manages to get his PSA to a low level with radiation but is not undetectable?
Thanks in advance.
Good question! I have wide spread bone meets and am currently undetectable. I've watched others here with less widespread and supposedly less aggressive disease fail one treatment after another as their cancer slowly continues to grow and spread. Response to treatment is very important.
On the other hand, I am mildly symptomatic, and those with less wide spread disease typically aren't. I'm incurable, while those with only a few mets, or only localized disease, have a shot at a cure. So given comparable response to treatment, it's better to have less disease.
Less is best.😂
Neither! It’s the journey , and smelling the flowers along the way . We all will end up the same in time. “ Pluck the day” or it will pluck you . Take care .
When your PSA start raising up is that means your castrate resistant?
