zzotte, three: Medical oncologist, Radiation oncologist and Surgical oncologist. It does sound like radiation because of the nodes and bones, and probably anti-testosterone therapy. It is a bit of a panic at first. Best luck.

Just to confirm, they assigned me directly to a radiation oncologist with my bone metastasis, but they did still send in a medical oncologist once just to consult with me.

Prostatectomy isn't usually on the table for metastatic cancer, though, as I mentioned earlier, STAMPEDE did still show the value of radiating the primary cancer in the prostate as well as the metastases
