I have difficulty reading and understanding the dr. notes but it says, extensive and wide spread in the bones. My psa has been holding at ,02 for quite a while. And while the fatigue is rough, not as bad as the pain before treatment was. Best to all

So high-load metastatic, but still castrate-sensitive. That second part is very promising (though there are lots of effective treatments available even if it progresses to castrate-resistant some day).

If figured it was high-load because of the chemo. When it's oligometastatic (just a 1–3 metastases, more or less), it seems more common to treat each one separately with external radiation. When it's more widespread, it seems more common to use chemo and/or Pluvicto, because it's not practical to target all of the metastasises separately with external radiation.

Either way, it's amazing we have so many effective treatment options in 2024.
