Prostate cancer

My husband got diagnosed with prostate in January.  Am a young mum and I just want some advice. I feel so alone with 2 young kiddies. He's had an mri scan and a template  biopsy of the prostate not had the results. Goes back to see the consultant on the 24th aug. He had the biopsy and fell very ill, shivering high temperature. Dr's suspected an infection. Start devolping night sweats and going  cold. Feel very exhausted with daily  acitivies. Am scared it's gone to the lymph nodes. Losing weight. As much as 2lb aday so very worrying  and am a very anxious wife trying to put on a brave face and just need to know if this is what the cancer does? 

 

Thank you

  • Hi Natalie,

    Welcome to this site allthough I am sorry to read about your husbands Prostate cancer. With regard to the night sweats, have they started your husband on hormone therapy yet. If so this would explain the night sweat for hormone therapy causes hot flushes  and is always worse at night. Can also cause some people to feel fatigued.

    I understand it is not unusual to get an infection after a prostate biopsy. Hope you both get good news when he sees the consultant on the 24th.

    Wishing you both all the best, Brian.

  • No treat ment as yet Brian, just other symtoms that have occurred recently is making me worry.
