So, You have metastatic prostate cancer, confined to the pelvis, which is quite amenable to the treatment and you can live a long healthy life. The most appropriate treatment in the present scenario will be hormonal therapy and radiotherapy to the metastatic skeletal sites, if they are painful.  However, if bone Mets are asymptomatic then hormonal therapy may be sufficient for you. Later treatment can be tailored according to your needs.

Hi Abhishek, since my appointment with the oncologist I've learnt the cancer has spread to my ribs & spine! He prescribed one drug which was then cancelled due to funding being withdrawn so he has put me on Enzalutamide. Prior to starting the new drug my psa has dropped from 18.3 to 4.5, which is very encouraging. I've been on them ten days now without any serious side effects and I have just had my 3rd prostap injection today. He has also booked me a CT &MRI scan on 18th June. Hopefully what I am now on will keep it at bay for a long time. I will update when I have more news.
