I have metastatic prostate cancer; which means it spread to my bones and there is no cure. Was diagnosed in September 2014. In my case it has been very treatable. My PSA was very low for a man diagnosed with metastatic PC.

First line of hormone therapy worked for about four years. Start the next level of androgen deprivation therapy in late December. PSA dropped from 1.7 to 0.3 in just two weeks. Should be undetectable when I go back to MD Anderson in April.

In the scheme of things, my problems are minor inconveniences.
PSA tests seem critical\mandatory for you.
Glad the treatment works.
You're in my prayers, my FRiend.

"My PSA was very low for a man diagnosed with metastatic PC."

How did you detect it? Were there other symptoms, etc?
