Prognosis for Stage 4 Metastatic Prostate Cancer

I was stage PC stage 4 with a Gleeson score of 9-10 when diagnosed 2 years ago. I went to Mayo-Rochester and underwent ADT (Lupron) and chemo (6 rounds of Docetaxel) followed by 20 fractions of radiation. I have been clear for a year now. During my treatment, I met a gentleman with a PSA of 3400 (yes) who went through my same therapy, had a hip replaced, was stage 4 and had a second round of chemo with Lutetium. Although only a third of patients respond well to that treatment, he did and is now clear.
It’s not a fun journey but you’re not on it alone. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your father.

Yes Lu 177 may become the standard of care I am on 4th injection but of Radium 223 or Xofigio as my cancer in in bones only he spine It works same as 177 but no hair loss and few symptoms not like chemo.
