BCR seems to be back after RT

[Shooter1]

This week after 7 months of PSA slowly dropping it decided to double in 30 days. New scans show recurrence in my ischial tuberosity and my #10 rib (right side). Don't know what to do now as the 'sitz bone' has already been zapped once. That met has doubled in size from 1.3 cm to 2.8 cm. I guess the RT to that met didn't do the job although it did slow it down for a few months. Off to a dr's appointment today with MO to discuss what is going on and I sent results to my RO for him to review. Wish me luck. Damned pain is starting to be with me all day now..

I think you could re-irradiate the met with SBRT.

You can get your sitz bone re-zapped to relieve pain. See Question 4:

RO just called me back acct e-mail last night,. Tuesday follow up to discuss further treatments.. Mo today to discuss scans. Life Is Good, especially when your drs respond.

I am sorry for that pain brother!

🙏💔

[Shooter1]

Right this minute, my left hand feels worse than my groin...darned bones slipped past each other again this AM and I had to pull them back to their right position. Getting old has pain involved....

[Spyder54]

Damn. Wish you much luck Shooter🍀Chess game. Make your best move Brother!

Good luck on your new plan. Keep us informed. Bob

Good luck moving forward. My husband's been using zytiga for bone mets for about 14mos now--as well as zapping, seems to be holding. Maybe an alternative?

[Dsmejkal88]

Sending a prayer up and good vibes.

Thinking of you and hoping for the best. There are more tools in the chest for you. Something should help you out. Let's see what your MO says.

[treedown]

Sounds like you have a good team I am sure they will have a solution for you. Still plenty of tools in the tool box.

[Shooter1]

Well my MO meeting went OK. He agreed if I want to try RT again before changing any meds it was OK with him since only 2 bones seem to be involved. Next weeks meeting with RO should provide more info for my road ahead. Life Is Good, but sometimes our roads have a lot of curves.

Some good news is good. Hopefully they'll leave your tickle bone in tack so you can laugh at life..... Let us see you hit the friggen target......

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Hopefully the RO can irradiate the pain away. Will keep you in my thoughts.

Damn, Shooter. That is disappointing. Usually SBRT to oligo Mets sites effectively resolve them if treated to entire tumor volume at a high enough (ablative) dose. Zap’em again hard.
