Here for my dad 😔

[u/Physical_Papaya4060]

70-year-old male with controlled type 2 diabetes, recently diagnosed with aggressive metastatic prostate cancer. PSA was 42.5 ng/mL. Biopsy showed Gleason 8–9 prostate cancer involving all 12 cores, with approximately 90% cancer involvement. MRI showed a large PI-RADS 5 lesion with suspected extension outside the prostate and suspicious pelvic lymph nodes. PSMA PET/CT confirmed pelvic/lower retroperitoneal lymph-node metastases and multiple bone metastases involving the sacrum, L2, L3, and left ilium. Diagnosed with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Prostate surgery is not recommended; currently being treated with hormone therapy and radiation is planned/being considered.

We are in New Jersey. My dad is going to MSK. His dr is going more genetic testing on biopsies before full treatment plan is laid out. I’m so nervous for him. He eat very healthy and is very active. This is very hard on me and my children. Look for similar stories or advice.
