Hello Eddie and thanks for your post,

it is difficult for us to give an opinion on the benefits of chemotherapy without being involved in your care. We are cancer information nurses and don't have access to doctors who can give a medical opinion. Every case is treated very individually taking in to account a patient's age, general health and how they would cope and benefit from any treatment.

This is really a question that can only be answered by your doctors.

We do have some information about treatment decisions for advanced prostate cancer which you can see here

You may also find it helpful to read the information on Prostate Cancer UK's website here

It can help to have a read about the different treatment options before you see the doctors so you can have an idea about some of the treatments they may consider. 

If you would like to talk any of this through with one of the cancer nurses then you are welcome to give us a ring.

Our helpline number is freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are here Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

All the best,

Catherine
