  • Lynda, 

    I'm gobsmacked. I know that there are new tests and treatments all of the time.

    From my experience I know how hard the diagnosis hits you.

    Best wishes from all of us to your parents.  Lynda I hope things start to improve.  Try to keep strong not only for your parents but for yourself.

  • Very sorry to hear Lynda about your dad and also your mother's fall, hope she's ok 

    Hormone therapy can still help your dad, important he gets,  or is on the right one.

    Hope that things improve for you all.

    Best wishes
