I’ve joined this group as I don’t know what to do. Long story short my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer 6 years ago - 2 years ago the cancer was in his spine and has  fractured his vertebra

he has had 2 rounds of 10 chemo sessions and a trial drug that didn’t work for him  So now only hormone injections. Over the past 12 months he has just got weaker and weaker 

4 weeks ago my mother found him in an delirious state in bed he had lost consciousness and Was rushed to hospital - he had a water infection was treated for 2 weeks and he came home, however this week again very confused and in a state so taken to hospital where they have now said he has pneumonia and is on anti biotic again 

is this his body slowly shutting down ? Has anyone been in the position ?? I know everyone is different but I’m so scared that this is the end

    Hello Willbop76. Welcome to the forum. I have the same condition as your Dad but I am lucky in that I am stable at the moment.

    I think your best course of action is to speak with your Dads oncologist or whatever specialist is treating him.

    Someone on the forum may have a better course of action to suggest. I am so sorry your family is in this position and  hope things improve.

    In my experience the chances of CBD working for a prostate cancer are slim. It can relieve you of pain, but that is also not always the case. Better go to the doc and get yourself properly medicated.
