I'm in early (hopefully) stage PC - stats below.
For at least two years I've had radiating back pain on ejaculation and numbing of my pelvis when hiking or climbing stairs. I've assumed all along that this spinal problem contributed to problems and now perhaps to cancer. Anyone else with this experience?
And, with the cancer, I've read it can cause lower back pain.
I presume that would be well advanced but don't know, any thoughts?
In any case I am considering my treatment options now, leaning toward a natural path. I was already a vegetarian but ate milk products, way too much cheese and wine.
However, I couldn't afford co-pays for MRI or Genome testing so I don't know how aggressive it is. Accelerated jump with PSA last test. I'd love to think caused by dying cancer cells ;-)
