My father was diagnosed with Stage 4 and since been in HT for year now. By god grace everything seems to be going fine .. he is fit and continuing with his normal routine.
His PSA is down . I am keen to know what would happen next, what should i be preapred for,generally if you all can share your experience.
My GP had told that my father would be fine upto 5 years. He is 72 years now.
Thank you !
Sounds really good from what you’ve said. Without any details about what has diagnosed him as stage four it’s had to say much.
There may have been a biopsy and a scans and a gleeson score to grime up what his cancer is. If you know that would help.
Just on HT is the least of all treatments for prostate cancer. His comorbities will be important to know for a better understanding. The prolfile page (the green dot beside your forum name) could be useful to jot down a few facts to allow the experienced to give you a better answer.
I’m stage four, three years in but I wish I had your dads diagnosis.
Try not to panic, life is good and years are the best prognosis.
