I'm trying to figure out if this is good, bad or okay. Hitting a dead end with my Oncologist. Seems more interested in having me on hormones than anything else. The hormones were a nightmare for me when I did take them. I have had radiation and chemo treatment. My main concern now is I've been having pain in my ribs, pelvis and femurs which they seem to be reluctant to address. I had a bone scan last year and all looked ok, but I'm still having pain. Could the cancer be creeping into my bones and not showing on the scans? I'm tired of being treated like a leper when I mention that I'm in constant pain. Any ideas, thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Doesn't sound like your satisfied with your current docs. Get a second opinion.

    Hi,

    I assume the readings are PSA? What is the name of the ADT drug you are on? Looks like your PSA numbers are not going exponential which is a good thing. Your readings can fluctuate from what other radiation dosed people have reported. Might want to look into a PMSA PET scan to check for spread. As Rob.ski said, if not happy with your Oncologist get a second opinion.

    Yes, PSA. I'm not on any ADT at this point. Was on Lupron but have been off for quite some time.
