This is Gator's wife Tracey haven't been on for a long time. We are really fighting the giant this time. Gator had his RC with indianaa pouch on 3-29-2009. No chemo or radiation just alot of preop testing to make sure the BC was confined. 2 slightly suspicious lymph nodes, out of the 47 they took out, turned out to be negative. 6 months out check ups clear, 1 year out check ups clear. Then we moved to my husband's hometown. It is something we planned on doing eventually. oppurtunity came up for a house that we couldn''t pass up. he had to go back to Indiana in January for heart check up. Had to have a stent put in. We were to go back in April for his yearly uro checks and did not get to go. But he was already having some pain in his right hip when standing or walking. Finally got established with a family DR. here in May. He treated Gator with a course of prednisone, we all assumed the hip pain was from RA flare up. Did nort get better just proggresively worse finally got xrays of lower spine, pelic area, and right knee. on 6-21-2011 Dr. wanted to discuss xrays report showed what they thought prostate matastacic bone lesions wide sread on all areas but knee. He was diagnosed with stage 4 bone caner after pet scan on 6-24-2011. Started 10 high dose radiation treatments on right hip area and C2-4 in neck on 6- 25-2011. On 7-7-2011 laying in bed had muscle spasm and jerked right leg broke his hip spent from 7-7-2011 til 7-19-2011 in hospital for hip replacement surgery. While in had consult with spine specialist about neck. determined C2 is completely caner lesion. Got released finished the remaining 6 rad. treatments while we were home for 10 days. was readmitted to hospital for 5 days for nupagene shots and blood transfusion. At home he has had his remaing 3 nupgene shots and the last 2 days has had IV fluids. Is there any info on continuing issues we may have on this site. Thank you Tracey. he is sick have to go.
