Hello and thanks for posting

I'm sorry to read about your father's situation.

If your father’s doctors believe the cancer now found in his bones is actually metastatic prostate cancer (prostate cancer that has spread to the bones), then lowering testosterone is a standard treatment. This is because prostate cancer cells often depend on testosterone to grow.

Even when the prostate gland has been removed, any prostate cancer cells that have spread elsewhere can still be stimulated by testosterone. The hormone drug Relugolix reduces testosterone to very low levels, which can slow or stop the growth of those cancer cells.

I hope this is of some use. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,
