Is anyone her with Brain met

We did a PSMA pet scan today of my dad. Unfortunately it showed a met in brain apart from skeltal metasstasis. I am devastated and completely shattered. Is anyone there who can suggest me what i should do further for my dad.

I am sorry to read that and can't directly answer your question. However, I can point out that treatment might be possible. Referral to an NCI designated cancer center is highly recommended.

Now some notes from a non-medical professional.
Stereotactic radiation (with photons) is often used to 'kill' metastatic brain tumors. But also ask about proton therapy. The latter kind of radiation is especially suitable for tumors that are located near the surface. Protons don't travel far and thus minimize side effects on adjacent tissues.
Also, let me mention that I have a much younger cousin who had stage 4 metastatic melanoma. Her brain tumors were treated with radiation and she also had immunotherapy with Yervoy (ipilimumab). She is now a survivor. I believe that Yervoy has been tried as a prostate cancer therapy, but without much success. However, Yervoy is being evaluated in trials together with other agents. If interested, do a search on https://clinicaltrials.gov

PS: I found a relevant trial that compared different radiotherapies for brain tumors:

Some results have been published.

I remember there have a few been members here with cranial Mets, but not recently. Any distant met is bad. I suggest you also go to www.yananow.org. It may provide you with specific information from those who have had or now have such distant Mets.

Please refresh our memory as to where he is being treated. I hope he is with a world class medical oncologist that specializes with such advanced stage PCa patients.

Thanks, we did a MRI brain and cameto conclusion that it is extra axial lesion outside the brain, radiology people suggest its normal known as meningioma. However, medical oncologist took it very srriously as it has developed in past six monlths. Finally the plan is to.give PSMA actinium.therapy which is scheduled on 27th of this month. I have hope it will work for him. Please pray for my dad. I forhot to mention current PSA is 500.

Jannett, It could be either. If it is mets in his spine, I hate to tell you but.....spinal mets is moving into end stage. It may be coming soon to the time to let go. Best of all to him (and you) in this stage of his journey.
