I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It does sound like this is a difficult time for you. As a nurse team, we are unable to give you a medical opinion about treatment options as we are not part of your care team. If you are unhappy with your care and are looking for a second opinion we have information on this here.
Anything offered by your doctorswould depend on where in the pelvis the lymph node is, how close it is to the prostate gland, and how many lymph nodes are affected. Your specialist or cancer nurse specialist (CNS) would be able to clarify this for you as they know your situation. We have more information on metastatic prostate cancer on our websitehere and information about locally advanced prostate cancerhere.
We have a clinical trial database that is designed for the public to search. You may like to search for clinical trials for men with advanced prostate cancer here. If you find a trial that looks appropriate, your doctor can then send a referral to the doctor running the trial at your nearest participating centre.
I hope you find this information helpful. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
