When my husband was diagnosed 5 years ago, part of his treatment was intensity modulated radiation therapy.
After a recent rise in his PSA, a CT scan showed a metastasis on the left pubic bone area of his pelvis. He's been offered SABR to eradicate this but because of his previous IMRT he's been told there there's a 9-10% chance of bone necrosis which could lead to fractures. We're concerned he could end up in a wheelchair.
The SABR could potentially stop the cancer in its tracks, especially with subsequent chemo or drug therapy. The alternative is only being able to control or slow down the spread of the cancer with hormone therapy & other modern day drugs.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation?
