Stage 4 Prostate after a year has Metasasized to Lymph Node

Posted by cal77 @cal77, Apr 25 8:52am

Hi,
After a year on Apalutamide and getting Eligard shots every 4 months, a CT Scan showed it has moved to my husbands Lymph node. We are being referred to an Oncologist now for possible Chemo.

I thought the hormone treatment was supposed to last for 3 or 4 years before Chemo had to be started..

He has no pain. He rides his bike for 41K.
The Urologist said exercise was better than any medicine they could offer.

Life is so unfair.

Im similar to you in treatment protocol but on my third year. Don't mean to offend anyone, but on average does any have ANY idea or wild guess how long we have to stand on our own two feet, have some custom suits made and do some Northern European travel and drink a couple of beers with Scandinavian friends. I’ve had my share of hospital stays and treatment that I want a little adventure as I continue my love for sunshine and ocean breeze. Any comments or criticisms welcome fellows.

Hope this helps, but I was told 3 to 5 years and then test to see if PSA comes back. If it comes back back on the drugs, if it doesn’t come back, you’re free at last.
