Do you wonder too?

Today I went to see an Orthopedic Dr for pain that I'm having in my right hand fingers and right forearm.   Even though my cancer was in my prostate region, and the pain is in limbs a long way from there, and I fully believe that I've eliminated the prostate cancer from my system,  that still small doubt creeps in and says "What if your cancer has metastasized to your bones?

Is this the way it will be going forward, always wondering.... Is it the cancer or something else?

I'm currently scheduled for an MRI to verify the Dr's theory that there's a pinched, or otherwise compromised nerve in my spine/neck area that is causing the pain.  All of the symptoms point to that region. More to come later.

Be blessed,
Tom

Guys, read this, especially if you've had a Radical Prostatectomy

A new study published in European Urology indicates that genomic study can predict rapid metastatic disease in node-negative, high-risk men managed by radical prostatectomy without adjuvant therapy.

Although rapid metastasis in men treated with radical prostatectomy is relatively uncommon, using tumor genomics to identify these men who have a highly lethal form of metastatic disease is an important advance.
