bone met

Had a PSMA scan that showed 2 Mets, one to lymph node, the other to a rib. Well there is no cure for me now. The met were radiated about a month ago but my side where rib is still sore. I assume the cancer is growing. They decided to not use ADT. I know that I am at the end. So getting my affairs in order. I read that a cure is possible with olio metastatic but that’s fiction and wishful thinking. I am 78 so three mo years would be great. I had surgery in 2014, Gleason 7. Had salvage radiation two years later, radiation to pelvic lymph nodes two years later and now radiation of bone met and lymph node. Radiation screwed up my bladder so I have terrible incontinence. Good luck to everyone.

"They decided to not use ADT". If this is the case they do not think you are in a bad situation. If you start with ADT plus Apalutamide now you will live for several years.
