Treatment for advanced prostate cancer. What else is available for my husband? He has Parkinson's disease as well

My husband has prostate cancer metastases.  It has spread to the bones. He's had radiotherapy on his spine. The hormone therapy isn't working and it has spread further in the spine as well as in other bones. He also has parkinsons disease.  Is there another treatment available for him ? Anx if do what. Thank you

  • Hi Dizzycherryhead, and a warm welcome from me, though I'm so sorry you have to be here, I too have metastatic prostate cancer which has spread to the spine, I can only give you my experiences my friend, and hopefully they may help with what questions to ask your oncologist, but please remember we are all different, I've had RT, and currently going through my third combination of HT, leuporelin +Xtandi, with chemotherapy to follow, though docetaxel is more commonly used, I will be put on cabazitaxel, then maybe lutetium 177 or radium 223, we have also been looking into the possibility of BAT treatment as my cancer is also hormone resistant, my very best wishes to you both.
