Hello,
my husband was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in November 2020. Since then he has been on 3 monthly injections and Enzulutamide. He has also had radiotherapy on his back at 2 different times. His psa is now rising and the Enzulutamide has stopped working. He will now be having chemotherapy starting in the next couple of weeks for 10 sessions over 30 weeks. He has metastatic tumours (not sure if that’s the correct description) on his back and hip. The oncologist hopes the chemo will shrink the tumours. What we want to know but we’re afraid to ask is, does chemo successfully shrink the tumours? And what happens after chemo? Is there any other treatment? Or is that it? Also, are there any tips for getting through chemo? It all sounds quite scary at the moment. Any advice or positive stories would be gratefully received
many thanks
