Prostate cancer. My husband has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He’s had his first hormone injection and his PSA levels have gone down. However, it has spread to his spine thorax and lymph notes. He’s also just started having difficulty with his eyesight and we are booked in for an MRI scan on Sunday. I’m really worried it spread already to his brain. I’m having a mini meltdown and I really don’t know how best to help him
Hi Jane xx and welcome to the Online Community. I am so sorry to read about your husbands Prostate Cancer diagnosis, it’s a difficult time for you all but I do hope you will find the support available in the community helpful at this difficult and challenging time.
Talking with others who are walking the exact same type of cancer treatment path (my one is completely different) will help you navigate this unwanted journey.
The New to Community is like the Community Reception area and as there are many different cancer types and experiences so likewise the Community has many dedicated support groups but I see you have joined and posted in our supportive Prostate cancer group as this will be a good place for you to connect with other folks who may be on the same cancer treatment support pathway.
When it comes to the practical challenges of supporting someone you may benefit from talking with others caring for family and friends so can I recommend that you join our supportive Family and friends and Carers only groups where you will connect with others supporting family and friends.
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, emotional support, benefit and financial guidance or just a listening ear.

All the very best ((hugs))
