Dear Terry and thank you for posting

I am sorry to hear about you having prostate cancer and your wife's ill health as well, this must be difficult for you.

It sounds like you are trying to look after yourself, which is good to hear and very important for your general health and wellbeing. There also seems to be a recent study suggesting cancer patients who have a tailored exercise plan may live longer.

Unfortunately we cannot say what the doctors may also be able to offer you treatment wise if the hormone therapy is no longer effective, do discuss this with them when you next see them. There are other treatments available for prostate cancer such as other medications, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, so hopefully there may be options beyond hormones suitable for you.

Without being involved in your care it is impossible for us to comment on prognosis or time frames but this is something your specialist doctor may be able to help you with.

Do ask the health professionals involved in your care more about your situation to get a better understanding of what the short and long term may look like for you.

Wishing you all the very best.

Do get back if touch if needed or you are very welcome to call us on 0808 800 4040 on weekdays 9-5 if you prefer.

Take care

Naomi
