What Causes Chest Pain In A Patient Diagnosed With Metastatic Prostate Cancer?
I have been diagnosed with matastic prostate cancer, Still waiting for the various bone scans, mri etc to determine the extent of the metastisis. I have the expected pains including sore back, fevers, chills,etc. I have now developed chest pain (mid chest) both sides that radiates thru to the back just below the shoulder blades. It seems to be related to a foul taste i get in my mouth. (maybe the taste of blood). the taste becomes more foul as i lie on this part of my chest. I did have a chest xray a few weeks ago that came up clear.

These pains can be due to spread of disease to bones( ribs)
Prostate cancer is know for its spread to bones.
Your bone scan will give more information in this regard.
Dont worry . once you are started on treatment ,the pain will subside.
Even with metastasis the survival is good in prostate cancer and so is the quality of life.
