I read today about prostate-cancer causing back pain. I've had back pain for 8 years, but just lately I felt that it had changed; tending to be a tad more chronic. This combined with a bowl function change made me wonder if it had already metastasized.
Since prostrate cancer is supposed to be asymptomatic, does anyone know if the associated back pain can sometimes come before it 'escapes'.
I have been offered radical robotic here for a sum that fits in with my emergency planning, but it would not do a broad spectrum check over within those costs. I just feel that I have to have other diagnostics. Would these be done in the UK as a mater of routine, or only after evidence that it has escaped out of the gland?
