Diagnosed 1year ago, PSA 159, Gleason score 4+4=8, spread to distant lymph nodes, left seminal vessel and over towards bowel, 6 bone mets 2 ribs 2 pelvis 2 vertebrates, no organ involvement. Virtually no symptoms I just thought it was BPE.
Life expectancy from oncologist 5 yrs
Treatment so far
Chemotherapy 6 x Docetaxel
External beam radiation 6 x double dose to the prostate and surrounding area's 1 week apart
Zoladex every 3 months
Nubeqa daily
One year on PSA 0.06
Worst side affects from treatment are mentaI anxiety and hot flushes.
I live in Australia am I receiving the best treatment, is there anything else I should be looking at?
Thanks in advance Tim
