Have recently been informed of Metastatic spread of cancer coming from probably prostrate cancer diagnosed in 2015 or Sigmoid cancer diagnosed January 2021. Treatment is now palliative in form of hormone therapy medicine albiraterone + prednisolone. Have been advised that the prostrate cancer has a prognosis of two years. With this information the colorectal surgeon has advised that surgery is not advised due to COVID and survival rate for me would be 76%. After a pet scan was informed the cancer is spreading in the lymph node system and is reaching the liver and the lungs.
I have recently contacted mcmillan nurses to seek advice for physical and emotional concerns and had my first telephone conversation this morning. As there is no centers open at present she advised that I should make contact with people through the available on line community.
