Progression despite low psa

My father passed away 6 weeks ago. 
he had advanced prostate cancer diagnosed 2 years ago. Gleason score 4 plus 3. 
psa was kept low with enzalutmide up until the day he died. 
just wanted to warn you that even if you are told your psa is low but start to feel unwell. Insist on a scan.  My dad had full confidence that his bloods were foolproof. As were the nurses telling him all was ok for another 3 months. Unfortunately it wasn't the case and his cancer changed and invaded his lung and liver.  
heartbroken.

    I'm so very sorry to hear that your Dad passed away recently. It's obviously a very difficult time for you at the moment. 

    We'd encourage anyone who feels unwell or feels that something isn't right to seek medical advice. I hope that maybe your post will encourage others in the future to follow up with further appointments or tests if they are concerned. 

    Please accept my condolences on behalf of the entire Cancer Chat moderation team.
