PC spreading to liver after beginning HT

Hello Goingloopy ( think I should have chosen this name at the very beginning of our journey!!!)

sorry to hear of your husband's diagnosis and your very understandable worry. The start of the PC journey is very hard for us wives as well as for our husbands

Welcome to the forum.  I am just wondering if your husband had a CT scan or MRI before he started the hormone therapy? Comparing the two would show whether or not the cancer has spread since starting the HT or whether it had spread before?

Take good care of yourself :)

Hello worried wife,

thanks for the reply.

yes he had a CT just after disagosis and no shadow on the liver then. started HT and responded well as far as the lowering of his PSA….then at a review in January they wanted a CT and found the shadow, confirmed as cancer about 2 weeks ago. Have literally just heard that he has to start chemo in 2 days and we are just off to our Cancer centre in an hour.

im so scared through this but trying hard to be stoic for my other half!

will keep you all updated.

thanks so much for the support worried wife 

Hello Goingloopy and a warm welcome from me, I too saw my cancer spread, I had been on hormone therapy for eight months, Prostap 11.25ml every 3 months, then a pre radiotherapy scan showed my cancer had spread, my PSA was 0.08 at the time, I requested my hospital notes as i felt information was being kept from me, and it was. take care.
