Can you feel the progression of the cancer

No, not usually. Pain tends to only kick in with significant bone mets, which wouldn't just appear overnight but develop over a long period of time. The pain often comes from the tumour pinching on nerves - you can't feel the cancer spreading out of the prostate or moving around in the lymphatic system, for example.

What is worrying you?

Hi,

Mine was already metastatic before diagnosis. I have it in my spine and right hip. I have never had any symptoms in those areas either before, at diagnosis or now - over three years later.

Does this help at all?

Hi thanks for your response. I’m struggling with this. I have pain in my lower back left leg and buttock. I’ve seen a specialist a professor of urology with cancer as his specialty. I’ve had a CT scan and an MRI with nothing significant found. He has assured me that he is 99 percent sure I don’t have nets in the spine or leg. His view is that for mets to be present the prostate would st least be enlarged, mine is small and the PSA is 2.4 he is adamant that there could be no mets. I’m scared as I have full pain and burning sensations in the leg. Don’t know where to go with this. The consultant is at the top of the cancer urology field.
