Yesterday Oncology phone as normal every 3 months. I was expecting the call for my husband. Asked how he was, the usual reply is I’m fine and I haven’t got any pain. I explained he has dementia and can’t eat without walking around in between eating and a few other issues. She told me that they are not going to give him any more treatment that he was being transferred to our doctors care and were discharging from oncology. He is 82 has dementia and is partially sighted. Last time they seen him his his PSA has risen so along with his hormone injection they started him on Bicaluamide 50g per day. This reduced his PSA in very quickly. But again even though it’s not a lot it’s on the move again. I haven’t told him and I am quite numb! They asked if we would like to speak to them over the phone or face to face. I asked for face to face, but this won’t take place till October the 14th. I’m really not sure what to prepare for, I have told our children. They are all upset and asked me the time frame. Do I take him on holiday and other things so he can enjoy what time he has left or just leave things alone without putting pressure on him. He is happy to just sit at home. But he keeps on about going to USA wheee my other daughter and son live he is always very happy theee when we visit, I just need to know what to expect.
