A friend of mine contacted me about his friend who was diagnosed with PCA that had spread to the bladder and lymph nodes. I couldn’t get any further bio information.
What type of treatment is recommended and what cancer centers have any of you with similar diagnosis used? I think he is in the Atlanta area.
Emory/Winship is well-respected. He may want to participate in this clinical trial:
clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show...
For brachy boost therapy, Radiotherapy Centers of Georgia has the most experience.
thanks. As always, I respect your thoughts and knowledge. Will pass these recommendations along.
My recommendation would be that you tell him about this forum and that he would find much valuable support and information here.
I agree with your comment. Since it’s a friend of a friend (whose wife seems more interested in getting treatment options) , not sure it will work. I suggested that the F of F’s wife get on this forum. I think my friend suggested the F of F wife visit healingwell forum, since it helped him with his intermediate risk PC. But this forum is better for the F of F condition.
Hey Gatodd! I too had spread to bladder and lymph nodes. So no surgery for me . I did Lupron imrt and another now defunct test adt drug . I had k failure and complication for two yrs with tubes and a foley . He hopefully won’t go there. The good news it that after imrt Ive been clear for seven yrs so far . I also did a lot of alt med and followed a Nat onco advice on nutrition and diet to date . You are a good friend . It’s possible to push pc away for some time but everything must go right! Keep him positive .. Good luck to your friend .
