Brief Answer:
Aim for Treatment to improve quality of life
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for replying.
Sorry to know about your positive bone scan.
Biopsy might be necessary for definite confirmation of cancer.
Hormone therapy will be helpful in slowing its growth and also reduce symptoms.
Definite cure maybe not possible. Control with good quality of life should be the aim.
Meet your doctor for referral to an oncologist.
Based on options provided, you can decide.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, here to help again.
Take care.
