  • Hi it is Prim-rose. Sorry not been able to log back on till now. My husband was diagnosed with PC spread to bones nearly 2 years ago. PSA 65.6 Gleason score 4+5. Had enzalutamide, spinal cord compression just over a year ago, then Docetaxel, then cabazitaxel. Quite disabled, bone pain and starting radium 223 in 2 weeks. 

  • Good morning Prim-rose am so sorry to here that your husband is in the same  situation ,how is here doing at the moment ,has he been given a time scale ?hope his treatment that he has at the moment is going well for him .

  • Hi Woodywood1, Husband very fatigued, probably the morphine etc. His new treatment starts 26-01 (Radium 223) so fingers crossed. Sorry your husband is going through the same thing. Is he currently having treatment? Not got time scale. Such a horrid disease. Hope all going well for your husband
