Hi,
My dad died a long time ago now but I'm still trying to get my head around his death and the way his cancer acted. It seemed so out of the norm for PC.
He ended up with brain mets towards the end which is apparently a rare/very rare complication with PC- something like 2% of PCa spreading to the brain. He had it in his lymph nodes and bones including mild spinal chord compression-but we never found out if he had it anywhere else like lungs/liver though seems likely. I just wondered if anyone had any insight into this type of disease, from supposedly low-risk PC to death in 8 years with something as rare as brain mets. I should say my grandfather also died of PC in only his 50s so we obviously have an aggressive form in the family, but I thought it was worth asking about since the brain being effected is apparently so rare. He had tingling down one side of his face and his eyes weren't focusing so that's when they did the scan and found 2 or 3 spots-he had radiation and lived for a few months. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of PCa spreading to the brain?
