Hi all this is where we don’t want to be I’m sure well my husband was diagnosed 3 weeks ago with prostate cancer and has started to have hormone therapy then he has to have injections and after that radical radiation I just feel so helpless I have bad days I have better days he is I think in denial he’s going on like he is fine  I’m sure that’s his way of dealing with it but I feel useless

    Hi cazzz1957 I am in the same place as you. My husband was diagnosed with grade 4 prostate cancer and has just had 20 treatment of radiotherapy and currently now has to have hormone injections for the next 3 years. I feel so helpless, he has been lucky with side effects and just got fatigue which he has found hard to cope with, but he is getting there. Have now got to wait till January to see how he has responded to the treatment. The waiting is the worst
