DC’s bone scan results are in!

[jcoil]

Hi All,

DC’s bone scan results came back with “very small” lesions on 4 areas in his body. The Dr said they will go away with the medication he is taking (Zytiga+Prednisone+Lupron 3 mo). Dr. rejected the estradiol patch but I’ll find a way to get some. His PSA is 24.5 from 243 & 66. Dr added Potassium & Chloride as his levels are slightly under normal. He will also be taking melatonin for sleep assistance. DC walked out of the office with his chin up and pretty positive and that is everything! He goes back to work on Monday and he is looking forward to getting back to normal. Thank you all for your advice on what to ask the dr and all the helpful links!

Blessings & Prayers,

JC

So he has low volume bone mets. Yes the systemic ADT and AR meds should control it well for now. Would get a DEXA scan to assess bone density and muscle mass index. And then start a bone protective regimen such as Prolia every six months (Regardless of what the DEXA scan shows as he will have bone weakening developing on ADT. That is not SOC if there is not yet osteopenia. But is worth a careful discussion. Get any needed dental care all done prior to starting. Just my opinion. 👍🙏
