Hi everyone, it has been a while since I wrote, but I do follow the site quite regularly.
My dad (79, no comorbidity) has prostate cancer. He was diagnosed five years ago 4+3=7. His only therapy so far was hormone one - first casodex (bicalutamide) and now for the past 2 and a half years eligard every six month.
About 8 months ago he also received an urinary catheter (foley), as he is retaining too much urine.
Preparations for radiation started 6 months ago and now finally when he was about to start, latest MR scan showed: very likely right seminal vesicle invasion and his case will now be evaluated at consilium of radiologist at oncology center. We do not have PSMA PET scan in our country.
His PSA is rising steadily and is now at 2.11 and he is considered castrate resistant. I should add that his PSA at its highest (when diagnosed) was 5.2. Second line hormone therapy was not yet approved, it might be now as seminal vesicle invasion is highly suspected.
Anyone with similar experience? What kind of treatment did you receive for semi vascular invasion? What kind of questions should I ask to doctors?
Thank you in advance for all your insights.
