Prostate cancer has spread to the C5 vertebrae

Alliblue, you could be given Zometa or Prolia to slow progression and protect the bone or chemotherapeutic agents.
Was the C-5 lesion detected with PSMA PET.
Metastasis from prostate cancer to the cervical spine is rare. And as a caution, PSMA PET can produce false positives in solid tissue but also in the spine where it can be mistaken "Fractures, degenerative changes, geodes, Schmorl's nodes, fibrous cortical defects, fibrous dysplasia, Paget's disease, vertebral hemangiomas, and bursitis are examples of musculoskeletal disorders that might result in false positive." PSMA PET/CT imaging results."

Yes. Detected in a PET. Diagnosed with prostate cancer 3 years ago.
Results state "lytic lesion C5 adrenal metastasis." "Lytic metastasis in C5 with prominent metabolic activity"
"No residual tumor in prostate bed. No seminal vesicle involvement. No nodal disease. No other bony disease." Doctor appointment and explained my results. Cancer spread to the bone.
