Bone marrow involvement

Hello, I’ve been on this journey for 6 years now and I’ve just found out my PCa has spread to my bone marrow. Locations are lower spine, hip and a rib. No pain though.


I recently had Docetaxel Chemo for 7 sessions but it hit me so hard they’ve cancelled the remaining 3. My consultant is now talking about Radium 223 and we have a discussion about it when I see him mid December. 

I can’t find much information on bone marrow involvement on this forum or anywhere else. I see a couple of comments that it’s not a good prognosis. 
So has anyone on here got any experience of bone marrow involvement or the Radium 223 treatment? 


My Bio is up to date if you’d like to see my journey so far. 


Feeling a bit emotional as I feel like we’re running out of options now . Probably be better after seeing the consultant and getting a plan in place. 

Thanks 

Phil

Sorry you're going through this.

Bone marrow mets are more usually simply called bone mets, so very common when prostate cancer spreads.

Ah so it was already in the marrow when they told me a while back about the bone Mets … ! That’s why when i put bone marrow in I don’t get much info available…

I do have quite a few questions for when I’m back up the hospital 👍🤔

Cheers 

Phil
