Treatment for Prostate Cancer Metastasized to Bones

Posted by cal77 @cal77, Aug 27, 2023

4 months ago diagnosed with Prostate Cancer that has Metasized into Bones. So far, just getting Hormone Treatment...Eligard and Erleada....Feeling so tired...Is this normal? Is there any other treatment available?

I've been on various treatments for 10 years with this disease. I can say that fatigue is probably the biggest factor. I take 5 hour energy shots sometimes. I have been on Percocet for pain all these years as needed. I have the worst type of aggressive prostate cancer with metastatic bone cancer. I have exhausted all treatments and currently waiting for the next clinical trial. The only other thing I can tell you is that a strong mind helps, and that's me.

I was on lupron and Erleada for 13 months with RP after the 6 th month. Being tired is normal and expected, however, these meds worked well for me. I am now med free and cancer free and hope to stay that way. If the cancer returns, I will probably go back on these meds. I recommend that you put up with this side effect and that you continue with these meds unless they cease to work or that your side effects change and become unloveable. Good Luck.

Ask your doctor about docetaxel, combination of the 3 shows much better results
