Just been diagnosed with prostate cancer, which unfortunately has shown metastisis into the lymph nodes and may be my femur, thereby ruling out radiotherapy as a treatment and requiring now a combination of hormone and chemotherapy. I am learning lots of terminology and numbers - PSA score, Gleason grade etc. - and discovering that for a reasonably intelligent person, that I am unable to understand or remember the most simple of directions from the most patient and kind clinicians.
Also, while I don't feel well, I also do not feel desperately ill, and yet, I am about to poison my body with chemotherapy, and I can't get my head around this. Is this normal?
