Small cell and adenocarcinoma prostate cancer

Hi, I am married to David 69, who was diagnosed with this combination 7 months ago. He is just finnishing 6 cycles of combo chemo, Carboplatin and Doxytaxil having had a TURP prior to this. He is to have 6 weeks Radiotherapy in January. I would like to make contact with others with this diagnosis as we are finding the prognosis difficult .

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Galiovlyn although I'm sorry to hear about your husband David's diagnosis.

    How has he been finding the combined chemo? I hope it's been going well and he hasn't suffered too many side effects from the treatment. I've had a look through the forum and haven't found anyone with this combination but we do have members that have variations of what your husband has been diagnosed with as well as the experience of facing a difficult prognosis as a result and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    Our cancer nurses may be able to point you in the right direction for connecting with others that have this specific diagnosis so I would recommend giving them a call. Their freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
