Hello
If someone has advanced prostate cancer and has had radiation therapy is on hormone tablets and enzalutamide tablets. Says they are okk and all good no pain or side effects and can carry on as normal don't worry. Tablets will give an extra 2 years so all good. Stay were you are and just come at weekends to visit
Is this correct will they be ok. Tablets can cause falls and lot of side effects.
Dad has cancer and thinking of moving closer to him fir support and help if needs it.
Question is how quick should I move as been offered a years position in New job.
Hi, it's an unanswerable question, I'm afraid. Depending on the detail of his diagnosis and stage, he may stay well for years, even with advanced PCa. Prostate cancer is (relatively) slow-moving, but things can move fast in the later stages.
If he's only recently started the tablets, 2 years doesn't sound at all unreasonable, so long as he's as well as he says he is, and doesn't have other significant health issues.
The tablets do have a fair number of possible side effects, but they vary a lot from person to person, and most people get through them.
Sorry to be so vague, but my crystal ball needs a new battery 
. The main thing is to keep in touch with him.

If I can't beat this, I'm going for the draw.
Meanwhile, my priority is to live while I have the option.
