Your experience is wonderful to hear about. It really offers hope. Can you tell me what has been done, what are you taking, to contain the mets? My husband, 73, was diagnosed with PC about 4 months ago. He was told it was contained and low-level, so active surveillance was recommended. At a very recent PSA test, his numbers had shot up significantly. A psma test showed spread to 3 bone locations (skull, L5 and hip). He was given Orgovix 2 weeks ago and Eleada, which he just began. The plan is to radiate the L5 mets now, and continue the 2 pills for 3 months, then radiate the prostate, with 5 doses over 2 weeks.
Currently he’s having a lot of pain and difficulty urinating, even though he has frequent urges. These feelings are not among the expected side effects of either drug. If this continues I don’t know how he can cope with 3 months of it.
So, that is why I’m asking what has had your mets contained? And wishing you many more good years of containment! Thanks in advance for any information.
