Hi Char58, 

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. My dad was recently dagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. He has shots as well called Zoladex every 3 months. My dad is 63, and the doctor has told him he may have about 3 years left. This has been heartbreaking for my family. My sister and I are only 26 and 24, so it's been a huge shock for us. We always saw our dad as healthy and strong, so we were completely shocked when we found out he has stage IV Prostate cancer. 

It's so hard to say how long the shots will last, as our doctor said. Every person reacts differently. Thankfully, my dad doesn't have any pain, but it's been an emotional ride for all of us. We were told chemo isn't usually done until after the hormone therapy stops working? Or maybe i had misunderstood. 

If you want to chat, I'm always here!!

Thank you  for the response!!! He is almost finished with radiation now. Right at this moment he is in tears with pain in his left upper leg. He is on plenty of pain medication... I have been told that bone cancer is extremely difficult and painful.... what else can I do to help??? So Lost!!!
