I had a nasty cough and was coughing up phlegm for more than 3 weeks. My wife made an appointment and I was sent for a X-ray
with in 3 days my doctor called and arranged a CT scan. A week later he phone to say my PSA had gone up to 30+ and that the CT scan had showed the prostrate cancer had gone to my spine. I was then sent back to oncology and the doctor decussed what had happen and he was putting me onshore one therapy and wanted a scan of my lower abdomen. I have taken Bicaluamide tablets for 14 day and have had one hormone injection. Due to have my second on 27th July which will be a big one and then every 3 months. I have spoken to a lady on the phone who gave me my results, the cancer is in my pelvis and spine. She said it can’t be cured will the hormone injection keep me alive?
Hi Tony78 and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about your ongoing challenges.
A cancer diagnosis like this can be very challenging but talking with others who are walking the same type of cancer journey (my one is completely different) will help you navigate this difficult time.
The Community has many support groups so can I recommend you join our supportive Living with incurable cancer - incurable patients only we also have various Cancer specific groups where you can talk with others who have walked or are walking the same cancer journey.
It’s always good to talk so do call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service provides lots of cancer information, support, financial guidance or just a listening ear.
We also have Cancer Nurse Team in our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.
All the very best
