Hi great to be on a site so that I can get help in my understanding. Ever since my husband was diagnosed with prostrate cancer, ha radical prostrate cancer removal, idont think anyone really sat and explained what I had to deal with. He had Adenocarcinoma of the prostrate diagnosed in July 2005.
he underwent radical prostatectomy in 2005 followed by PSA surveillance. Elevated PSA to30 in June2021.
cT scan suggested bone metastasis in the thoracic, lumber, spine and pelvis. No liver or lymph node lesions seen.
commence on LHRHa June 2021to be continued on a 3 monthly LHRHa with3 monthly PSA testing.
psa 01/0
11/2024=4.92 (24/09/2024 = 5.12
He had radiation Scan
But he was unwell and Couldn’t attend I went on the 28th CT scan. He has now a CT scan on the 11th of January 2025 and we have an appointment with a consultant On the 23rd of January 2025.
he has a constant cough and is Third floor coughing up green with spots of blood in it. Doctors were not concerned as his lungs are clear. He lives a a very sedate life, sitting in the chair all day just nodding off, only getting out of his chair to eat. He has lost a lot of his muscle strength and is unstable on his feet. Been quite under the weather over the Christmas period, had a couple of falls.
,still eats (picky food being what he like -most). They think he might have a upper chest infection ( on antibiotics for 5 days) What I would like to know is are they going to offer him other treatment or will it be in his best interest to leave him as it is.?
