Hi Dwautos and a warm welcome to the forum though so sorry you have to be here and your husband has metastatic prostate cancer MPCa. It's good he has started hormone therapy HT the injection will not only shrink his prostate but hopefully by starving the cancer of it's food, testosterone, that may shrink as well, My stats are similar to yours, diagnosed 2 years ago T4 N2 M1a, Gleason 10 and spread to 9 places. I can't have chemo as it would likely kill me though i have friends with MPCa who had HT followed with chemo and they all started chemotherapy within 12 weeks of being on HT, nearly all having chemo treatment every 3 weeks having between 6 and 10 treatments. bet wishes to you both.

Thank you for replying am sorry hear you can’t have chemo can you not have radiotherapy?   It’s a lot for you all to deal with and each one got different issues.  We in limbo as not had date for chemo but at moment Dave doing ok he’s not suffering.  We wish you all the best and hope to hear you doing well. 
kind regards

hayley and Dave 

Hi Hayley, I 'm sure chemo  will begin in a couple of months, I can't have chemo or surgery as i have heart problems, though I have had radiotherapy which has helped and I am doing ok, best wishes with your second injection on Monday and happy to hear you both have lots of support, take care.

Thank you and you take care and keep in touch let us know you ok x

Hi thank you so much for taking time to chat.  Sorry not seen post earlier.  Dave had two chemo sessions so far and has to have another 4…his psa level was 296 and now below 127.  He’s had few side effects now struggling breathing really hope not gone into lungs.  He’s got have xray today and cancelled his chemo until next week and see consultant on Tuesday.  I’ve just had total hip replacement so he’s been running around after me I really hope not gone into his lungs.

Hi Hayley, please don't apologise I understand how our lives change with cancer, but it's nice to hear from you and good to know Dave's well into his chemotherapy, though sorry to hear Dave's chemo is on hold due to his breathing, and good to hear their looking into it, It's understandable to think it's cancer Hayley, but there are other more likely reasons. That's good to see his PSA has tumbled. How are you managing with your new hip, I hope it's going well, best wishes with the X-ray, I hope it brings you both good news, take care.

Thank you for replying Daves psa now 107.. he’s got have bloods and xray before restarting chemo next week.  I’m doing great re new hip bit sore but doing nearly most things now.  I hope you are as well as can be.  We all plod on as best as can I just worry when he’s poorly which is normal… keep in touch 

kind regards

Hi Hayley, good to hear Dave's PSA is tumbling, and fingers crossed he's back on chemo soon and well done to you, you have done well to have almost full use of your new hip, It's tough seeing someone you love so poorly, I am doing ok Hayley, have a MDT meeting on the 23rd when I will start on plan B whatever that may be, say hi to Dave for me, and good luck with his tests.
