Hi Rainbowmolly I'm 63yo diagnosed with advanced metastatic prostate cancer in July which after CT, MRI and bone scan revealed cancer had spread to my spine lower and middle back, neck right arm and shoulder as well as lymph nodes. Never did a biopsy as knew it was aggressive and had spread however initial PSA results where 1,973. My treatments have been monthly Hormone injection which brought it down to 370s where it seemed to plateau. After a short hospital stay when I was in a lot of pain and metastatic spinal cord compression was suspected but ruled out after MRI scan. I was put on a course of enzalutamide tablets as chemo wasn't deemed to be best option for myself and this has brought my PSA down to 2.2. Apart from the short hospital stay feeling okay suffer from erectile dysfunction which can be depressing but as my beautiful wife says its not the be all and end all. Urinate a lot at night and mobility isn't quite what it was but can get by walking and taking a rest where needed. I know that like yourself the outlook is poor I'm not going to cured but hopeful that the treatment I am receiving and the support of my cancer team and family I can enjoy what time I have left and hopeful that I have a few years in me yet.
