  • Hello Dwautos

    I'm sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis. It's obviously a very worrying time for you both and natural that you will have questions and concerns. 

    I wanted to try and put you in touch with another new member   who posted this thread earlier today sharing his story of living with stage 4 prostate cancer since diagnosis two years ago. You'll also see on that thread that a chap called  has replied. Eddie is also living with stage 4 prostate cancer although his story is slightly different from your husband's and Dave's as he has no bony mets. Hopefully, you'll be able to connect with these two gents who can offer some advice and support to you and your husband. 

    I also wanted to let you know that we have a team of nurses you can call to talk to for advice, information and support. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Undoubtedly this is a difficult time but please know we're here to listen and offer any support that we can. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on.
