Concerned: my husband has Stage 4 Gleason 9 prostate cancer that has spread into lymph system

My husband has Stage 4 Gleason 9 prostate cancer that has spread into lymph system. 

His ongoing treatment has impacted on osteoporosis leading to multiple spinal fractures, so has considerable pain in bones and joints. . 

We have fortunately been able to continue with adventures and keep positive until about a month ago. Very suddenly it's a real struggle to get him to eat anything more than a biscuit or Angel delight. 

He has lost a considerable weight and muscle. 

Can anyone recommend a good supplement to help?

  • Hello Concerned2021,

    I'm sorry to hear about your husband's situation and the sudden weight loss. While I can't recommend a specific supplement, it might help to speak to his medical team about what could help. We also have a team of cancer nurses available to talk to via our free helpline. You can call them on 0808 800 4040 and lines are open 9 to 5 Monday to Friday to discuss this or any other concerns or questions you may have. If you'd like further guidance, you can find information on our website around prostate cancer, including advice on treatment and coping with challenges.

    I hope this is helpful to you and that things improve,
