Had a setback due to being hospitalized in the ICU for a month and a half. Went to the Oncologist last week and about to start some aggressive treatment as I have a very aggressive prostate cancer. The oncologist on duty at the hospital had an MRI done to show where the metastasized bone cancer is located while in the hospital. 41% is along the spinal area in the lower back.
The current oncologist has determined the following treatments should be started to slow the cancer. Degarelix injections with Zometa Infusions. Afterward, want to do Apalutamide Oral and probable Proton Therapy down the road.
Due to the heart attack while in the hospital and the added medications for the heart and diabetes; the PSA number was at 348.00 on June 16. Prior to the prostate biopsy and PET/CT scan it was 6.89 on January 26. Now, with all the blood work at the oncologist, it is at 52.11 on Jul 25.
Just asking for feedback on the journey forward now that I can start my treatments. Thank you.
