Hello all,
I had HD radiation treatment for prostate cancer in Sept. 2021. Just two treatments. Everything has been good, my numbers went from 5.74 pre treatment down to a low (.35) on my most recent check. I had 4 of 12 cores positive, with a Gleason score of 3+4 =7. Intermediate risk. I am 62 years young. I was recently prescribed Lipitor for my poor cholesterol in this past December by my family doctor. Within a week or two I started having pain in my right side in my back. Deep inside - like organ pain. They tested my blood and one my liver enzymes was about double what it should have been (83) from a high side allowable of 45. So I went off the Lipitor and they retested me 2-3 weeks later. My one enzyme went down to 50 and the other was in range. My back pain has not gone away though and so my primary care doc has ordered an abdominal CT scan. I think he suspects the prostate cancer has spread to my liver or ?, which I am reading on-line is a real possibility. Just wanted to run this by some of you guys to see what your thoughts are. I need to calm my nerves right now a bit if nothing else. Thanks and any help would be appreciated.
