Have blogged on here only a few times really just giving updates on my nephew's cancer fight. He is currently in remission from synovial sarcoma and doing really well. Yesterday my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Contained (hopefully) but a 9 on the gleason scale so aggressive. We are all in a state of shock that cancer is, once again, invading the family. The last 18 months have been extremely difficult for Mum and Dad who had to see their darling grandson (12 years old today) go through so much. It seems so unfair now that Dad has to fight his own battle with this awful disease. He is to have scans soon to determine any spread and then hormone therapy has been suggested, apparently surgery is not a good idea for him because of the aggressiveness - does anyone know why? I think he would rather it was all taken away surgically but that doesn't seem to be the case. Would appreciate any advice or information. I have looked at various sites and I know the information is out there but would just like to hear from anyone who is or knows someone going through this.
