I have metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. Brief summary follows, with details on my "About Me" page: Journey started April 2013. Had radical prostatectomy in June 2013. At time of surgery, cancer also found in 4 of 12 extracted lymph nodes. But when PSA began rising in fall of 2013, I have followed that surgery up with the following:
Throughout all this, starting in April 2017, various scans showed mets throughout skeletal area from thighs through spine, ribs & shoulders.
So .... what now??? I will be visiting with medical oncologist tomorrow ...... (Since March, I have been taking methadone 10mg twice daily & prednisone 10mg daily. Fortunately, throughout all this, I am feeling good, I have had very little pain if any at all, & I am able to do most anything. I aggressively walk 4 miles daily.)

Very advanced status
I am sorry for the situation. I hope your oncologist has something that manages to hold the bandit. However, your advanced status may bring more of what has been used. I think that you should try keeping some quality of life, not just treatment.
Best of wishes for tomorow's meeting.
