Hello, I was first diagnosed with prostate cancer a year ago & was prescribed Hormone therapy, this was unsuccessful treating the cancer but did leave me chemically castrated, but at 83 "Am I bovvered?" My oncologist then put me on a course of chemotherapy,  -6 sessions at fortnightly  intervals during December . A  PETSCAN in February showed that my cancer was now metastatic & had gone into my bones, so now I am on another course of 6 treatments as before .

I have had 3 so far, & after each one I have 3 daily injections of 

NIVESTIM (Fligrastatin)     .During the chemo I have my toenails & fingernails varnished!

I am currently living with my wife (who's Dementia)in a retirement home in France, where we have lived for 31 years, the care here is superb, not just here but in France overall !!

I would also like to pass on my experience  re. the chemotherapy : I have not suffered from any of the associated undesirable  side effects of chemo,like nausea or sickness,which I attribute  to wearing accupressure wristbands,bought years ago on Brittany Ferries to alleviate seasickness! I AM SURE THEY REALLY WORK!

Best wishes to all,

Harry.
