I was diagnosed with blood cancer (Essential Thrombocythemia) 7 years ago and then with Prostate Cancer 2 1/2 years ago. Gleeson 4+3 with bone mets in ribs, hips, and one in skull.
I am on Abiraterone and prednisolone for the PC, plus hydoxicarbamide (500mg/day) and clopidogrel for the ET.
Plateletsseem fairly stady between 450 - 500 although HU doseage slowly increasing to keep it there. I am anaemic though with Hb at 125 and RBC at 3.7
I have and still get hot flushes, but recently I get pain in my bones starting normally in calves and and forearms and then spreading to chest and rest of body. It can be very painful and lasts several minutes.
I had thought this might be an effect of the PC, but now wondering if it is the ET, perhaps changing to MF?
Welcome any ideas of cause and what I could do to stop it, as it is definitely getting more frequent.
Thank you all.
