I have 3 pelvic/femur hot spots on my recent MRI and and am experiencing some hip and thigh pains; not bone pain per se but muscles/ligaments/fascia/nerves which could be related to the presence of cancer. The pains followed a bone biopsy (through the buttocks to the Ischial Tuberosity.) Ouch.
Anyhow, I am looking at radiation of the mets. Brachytherapy makes me nervous as it requires perfect execution it seems, and so that leaves ERBT which seems to have a few flavors including Proton. Any thoughts or experiences you could share would be much appreciated?
My history: I am stage 4 mCRPC and have, over 2 years, done Docetaxel and Lupron with modest success and Abiraterone with no success. PSA 8. Pelvic area bone mets only; no visceral mets observed, no lymph nodes.
With appreciation, Baltha
