Hello,
I'm so worried about my Dad. He has prostate cancer which spread to the bone and we found out around a month ago that it is now in his spine. His consultant said he needs to have 10 rounds of chemotherapy.
Dad has had one session and his health is declining rapidly. Some symptoms I'm sure are from the chemo but some he had prior.
Symptoms are loss of control of bladder, can barely walk, swollen legs, no appetite, very tired (falls asleep mid conversation). I'm just so worried that his body won't be able to cope with 10 rounds. We are having to cancel blood test/injection appointments this week as there is just no way he is up to that. We will also call the MacMillan nurses tomorrow to talk through all of the above.
Has anyone been through anything similar? Do they stop treatment if they think you are too poorly?
