Anyone had prostate cancer spread to the lungs?

Were these the only two nodules? If so, it's great that got them all. Mine were pretty widespread throughout my left lung, which is why they did a lung resection and removed part of it. Like you, my PSA was nearly undetectable when my PET scan lit up like a Vegas neon sign. I'm a Gleason score of 9 (5+4) and we're hoping to get at least two years out of the abiraterone and Lupron before the cancer becomes resistant. Good luck going forward and I hope those were the only two nodules.

These were the only two nodules that lit up, but there’s some smaller ones that came up on the chest CT scan that we are going to monitor. The same two were actually on a PET scan 20 months earlier, but they doubled in size over the 20 months and then were deemed a problem that had to be dealt with. Fingers crossed for my early November PET scan.
I wish you the very best of luck!
