Tou should try to sop confusing SCC with pain from bone mets. SCC cannot be cured by chemo. Bone pain can be reduced by chemo or it can make it worse. 


SCC can stop someone from ever walking again or it can cause the bowel to stop working. It doesn't come and go. It is a medical emergency. 


Bone pain can come and go and be better some days than others.


 


Whatever has stopped your dad's pain is likely to be temporary unless it is SCC that is making him numb in which case he is very ill.

Dear LynEyre, Scc means that there is tumour in spine which can press nerves that can cause pain and change in bowel habit if tumour can shrink there is no spinal cord compression and pain will automatically Goan isn't it .....and one thing more docetaxel 170 mg dose gave to my father it's very heavy dose

No that is not what SCC means. What you are describing is just spinal mets and yes, bone mets cause pain.

SCC is more than that and chemo can’t cure SCC

Macmillan Cancer Support's website says "Malignant spinal cord compression (MSCC) happens when cancer grows in or near the spine and presses on the spinal cord and nerves". It also gives some of the possible symptoms. My oncologist told me that if it should happen, it can retreated with surgery or radiotherapy.

No the pain relief is not permanent but if the cancer is well controlled then the pain can be managed

Impossible to say. Chemo may provide relief only whilst it is being undertaken. Daft to think in terms of years with advanced PCa. Sorry, Bose. Your Dad may be lucky but there are no certainties. My PSA rose immediately docetaxel was stopped

Don’t be too pessimistic. Median survival on Chaarted and Stampede trials, for advanced PC treated with ADT plus docetaxel, was 5 years. Once effects of first line treatment wear off, several other treatments are available.
