Dont want chemo

Hi my husband has prostrate cancer,which has spread to his pelvis and ribs,hes been offered chemo and then radiotherapy,but not keen on having chemo,so can you have the radiotherapy alone,he is on homone thearpy,hes been given a few days to decide, thank you.

  • Hi and welcome to the forum.  I am sorry to hear about your husbands diagnosis and know how worrying this is for the whole family.

    I would have to ask why he feels so adverse to chemo?  I have been on it for 4yrs constantly now and mainly manage really well.  Chemo could make a massive difference to his prognosis as many members here will verify and he can always halt treatment if he feels that is what he wants to do.

    Personally, I would give it a go and not make such an important decision so soon.

    Let us know how you are all getting on and the best of luck.  Much luck. X
