Dpfbanks, ‘Adenocarcinoma’ IS informative; it is a particular type of PCa arising from glandular cells - not intraductal, neuroendocrine or urothelial. It’s most probably the same type he originally had.
Actually, this sounds like good news if he survived the first bout for 17 yrs; hopefully it has not undergone too many changes in that time frame.

@heavyphil - all your comments are so appreciated. Yes, the original path from 2008 was ‘acinar adenocarcinoma’ Gleason 7 and we thought the same: that it must be a slow boat. But it has taken an unusual route to the lung only with a current PSA 0.36 from post RARP Nader of < 0.01. So, the docetaxel + carboplatin seems out of line and why I keep questioning … the CCOE must feel the lung is a place not to mess with, even a slow boat can get a new engine. That’s the only way I can understand the aggressive protocol because it’s not standard. I believe they think there is a chance to knock it out…if that ever happens. Again, many thanks. It’s only chemo week 1 and it feels like unknown dread is around the corner.
