Metastatic Prostate Cancer

12 months ago I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer and received emergency radiotherapy due to spinal cord compression. Was told cancer was in multiple places including bones and lungs. Had 6 rounds of chemotherapy (Docetaxel) Scan also showed weakened artery to heart! When I ask about prognosis all consultant says is a positive attitude the most important thing. Getting life long prostate injections and PSA is now 0.2. So if anyone is in the position I'm in it's not the end of the word keep on fighting

  • Hi Tommillie,

    I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but love your fighting spirit. It's not always easy, but a positive attitude and surrounding yourself with positive people, goes a long way with cancer treatments.

    I am nearly 15 years down the line, following 2 bouts of breast cancer within a year and fully subscribe to your consultant's advice. Whatever, you're doing is obviously working and, I sincerely hope that it'll continue to do so for a very long time.

    Please keep in touch and remember that we are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine

  • Thank You for replying, Jolamine. You are correct positive people and kindness goes a long way in lifting the spirits. Even people I barely know ask me how I'm doing. I hope you are doing well and enjoying life.
