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.
I actually didn't know that, I just Googled it 
. Wonder why so many Arabs then. Did they get lost looking for somewhere nice to live then 
. Only kidding, never been to South Shields.
