My world

My husband has just been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer it’s gone into most of his bones including his spine, ribs, pelvis he has a mass behind his fibia.   He’s had his first hormone injection to shrink prostate and second one has on Monday …his Gleason score is 4+5 his psa levels were really high.   Stage 4.  I want know if anyone knows how long after hormone treatment would he be starting chemo?

  • 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

  • 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.
