Newly diagnosed with advanced prostrate cancer

My husband has just been diagnosed with advanced prostrate cancer gleason score of 4+ 5 =9 which has spread to his bones and we are not sure where else until we have our appointment in a weeks time. I am absolutely terrified of what the future holds for us. Has anybody else had advanced prostrate cancer?

  • Hello Millymoo66,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat and I'm very sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis. 

    It can be difficult to digest all the information, but I hope the upcoming appointment goes ok. It might be useful to take a notepad so you can make notes or write any questions down before the appointment to bring with you. You can also view information on advanced prostate cancer here.

    If you'd like to speak to someone, we have a team of amazing cancer nurses available on the freephone 0808 800 4040. Lines are open Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.

    I hope this is helpful in some way,
