Prostate cancer has spread to the C5 vertebrae

Your message is confusing. The C5 vertebrae is in your neck. I’ve had C1 through C six operated on, Not cancer related just open them up and stop paralysis
They don’t usually operate on prostate metastasis they use radiation to kill them. Did they not want to do radiation either. I’ve had a metastasis on my spine radiated. I know many other people that have had the same treatment, but I don’t recall any anyone mentioning it in the C1 through C5 area.
Have they mentioned putting you on ADT to try to shrink the metastasis?

I’ve seen it in the clavicle as a single metastasis in a paper on PSMA PET. It’s the “C5 adrenal” part that is confusing; adrenals are in thoracic/lumbar region so where is cervical coming from?
Are there perhaps 2 things occurring at once - metastatic PCa to the C5 AND a separate issue in the adrenal?

I'm rather confused right now..Y I may not be making sense. Radiation, chemo and meds for the prostate cancer. Results today concerning the C5 issue. Absorbing this and looking for info others may have. Thank you..
