Prostate cancer

Hi, my husband has just been diagnosed with prostate cancer. It has spread to 1 seminal vesicle. He will be starting hormone therapy soon. Just want to know if anyone had the same diagnosis and what treatment they had. I can’t seem to find much information on prognosis etc, sites just go on about sex life. I need to know how successful the operation and hormone treatment is. Thank you

  • Hello verusha, 

    I am sorry to hear about your husband's recent prostate cancer diagnosis and I hope that the hormone therapy treatment is a success. There is in-depth information on our website on prostate cancer including on hormone therapy for prostate cancer and on the orchidectomy if he is having this procedure. You might also be interested in reading our section on stages, types and grades of prostate cancer and our page on surgery for prostate cancer

    Feel free to give our cancer nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and they are very knowledgeable on the subject and will I am sure be able to give you further guidance and answer questions you may have on prostate cancer treatment. 

    Other members of our community will have been through a similar treatment journey and I hope that they will share it with you shortly. I had a little look around the forum for prostate cancer threads which may be of interest to you using the search function at the top and thought I'd mention  's thread on this page - this member recently finished hormone therapy treatment and might be a good person for you to chat to so feel free to respond to them and share your experience  on their thread if you wish.

    I am keeping all fingers crossed for your husband. I hope that the treatment is a real success for him. Keep us updated if you get a chance on how things progress for him. 

    Best wishes,
