Hi My Husband Keith 48 diagnosed with advanced prostrate cancer spread to nodes and bones and surrounding tissues immediately started on degarelix injections every 6 weeks after biopsy and scans where told chemo radiotherapy surgery not an option tried on apalutamide tablets on full and reduced dose but had bad side effects so where stopped oncologist telephoned us to say as Keith was not having any cancer treatments he would be discharged from his care and he said he would ask urologist to take over Keith’s care T4 Gleason 4+3 and node and metastatic spread
I myself was diagnosed with triple negative breast and node in 2020 had chemo and surgery and radiotherapy
In June 2016 my 29 year old son was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and had the most gruelling 4 years of intensive chemo and due to infection lost some of his bowel and had to have irreversible stoma surgery we came so close to loosing him on a number of occasions but he’s here in remission and as a mother I continue to worry as it has a high rate of return
In October Keith’s Psa started to rise so Bicalutamide tablets where started however they didn’t lower PSA in fact last blood it had doubled so they where stopped and steroids where give for 6 weeks and then referral back to oncologist palliative radiotherapy has been mention as keith is getting bone pain we are guessing palliative chemo could be an option but keith is adamant that he does not want this he said quality of life over quantity I also this his decision is influenced after watching our son and my self have chemotherapy which wasn’t pleasant He is 50 in February
3 in one family
