Psa rising

Less than one minute read time.

Hi, my O/H started this journey last year with a PSA of 5136 he was put on HT after having scans it showed that it had spread so they put him on medication which brought his psa down to 49 but then he took himself off it as he couldn't drink alcohol....his PSA has now risen to 169 he is an alcoholic and just turns to drink , we have a telephone consultation tomorrow,  I am at my wits end but he is so laid back.... dreading the prognosis 'chat'....
