Hi, my husband has advanced prostate cancer with metastatic spinal cord compression. He also has lymphoedema which is effecting his legs. He had a review with his consultant on Tuesday. His PSA has raised from 1.5 to 2.7. The consultant said he isn’t concerned and to carry on with the hormone treatment he is currently receiving. The consultant will review again in three months time. Does anyone know if we should be concerned or not. My husband’s physiotherapist wants him to do an intensive course of inpatient physio to see if he can stand up and maybe walk albeit with aids to support him.
My husband hasn’t been able to stand for seven months, the spinal cord compression has left him incontinent and unable to weight bear on his legs.
he is hopeful he will one day walk again. His consultant says his progress with the physiotherapist is remarkable. I really want him to achieve his goal of being able to walk again. Has anyone ever experienced anything similar? It will crush him if he can’t stand or walk.
