Hi Ged,

Welcome to this supportive forum. I had prostate cancer just over six years ago but luckily I have made a good recovery with my psa dropping from 70 to 0.01 after treatment with radio and hormone therapy. Now four years on it is still only 0.87 so I consider myself very lucky.

I know of someone who had chemo for his prostate cancer and surprisingly had very few side effects. As I undestand it, the chemo is tailored for each individual patient cancer.

He was put on ezembutalide tablets at a later stage. Hope this helps

Wishing you luck with your future treatment and please keep in contact, Brian.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer on 17th Feb, 1999 in a North London hospital; treated with permanent brachytheraby(-surgical implantation of radioactive Iodine125 seeds and chemotherapy) in another North London hospital - Iam still alive - aged 78 - but with some undesirable adverse(-which medical doctors call side-effects) effects.

 My last PSA reading(2014) was well below 0.4.

I would like to meet Dr. Rick Klausner - Chairman of The Grand Challenges Board(-about optimising cancer treatments working with scientists and "patients") - and his team withi Cancer research UK.  Please facilitate.   

Many thanks, I am seeing my oncologist tomorrow will have a better idea then.

I recently had bone infusion treatment (radio something!!) And since having it, just over a week ago, I am experiencing severe pain in my bones. So much so that I even find walking difficult. I am on enzalutamide and have been for around three months as my PSA had risen and it is now around 20. Painkillers have included paracetamol , tramadol and as from yesterday Morphine. Nothing seems to be effective. Has anyone on this forum experienced similar problem. Would be good hearing from you.
