Not sure if I am duplicating this on another part of the site, but my husband (77) was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer about a year ago. He has multiple bone mets throughout the skeleton and whilst initially on Firmagon (hormone therapy), he has changed to Prostap as he had too much pain from the first.
He has bladder incontinence which is manageable by wearing pads but has been having often uncontrollable diarrhea every day for nearly four months. He has had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy so far and oncology say nothing to do with the cancer. He recently had an MRI to rule out spinal compression and a contrast ct scan. Nothing sinister found that they didn't already know.
However, my biggest worry is that he can no longer can eat. I have tried everything, obviously including his favourite foods. He can manage sweet things like fruit, yoghurt and soft deserts but he just cannot mange more than a couple of mouthfuls of any savoury food and is having Energy drinks supplied by the doctor.
My questions are, do other sufferers have bad diarrhea and is total lack of appetite and inability to eat normal. He is going downhill so fast and also getting dehydrated too. I am at my wits end trying to help him.

Gina,
I dunno, you're never happy!
Glad I'm not on Warfarin, too much hassle. I can't anyway because of the medication I'm on for Epilepsy. I started on Tinziparin injections every day but ended up like a purple and yellow 
Bee. It was all about what doesn't counteract with the Phenytoin (Epilepsy med). Apixiban was the best of the rest but I still have to take a double dose as half of it gets eaten up by the Phenytoin.
I'm not straight forward in getting medicine now. It's a case of "see what counteracts with what"
For my biopsies last year I had to come off the Apixiban 5 days before, then injections for a couple of days... The saga goes on.
When I get my Colonoscopy next month, the specialist said only to stop the Apixiban 1 day before. Then it's "get the camera crew in, biopsies, the lot."
For all I'm on Blood-thinners, I really feel the cold, even when it's warm outside. My fingertips are like Ice.
On the bright side, the Hot Flushes warm me up, sometimes far too much. Won't complain, it's a necessary evil.
Spitting on to rain now. Knowing my luck it will be acid rain.
Such a happy soul, eh!!
Have a good weekend, you and the Ice man.
Say woof to Sidney and Betty.
The only way to keep sane is to be insane!
