Hello everyone
I have just joined this group, my husband was diagnosed with PC in August last year.
His PSA level at diagnosis was 343 but after HT it has fallen to 0.1
Has been taking Nubeqa for about six weeks.
However after a recent CT scan and a subsequent MRI to check a shadow on his liver…they have confirmed the cancer has spread there. We are now waiting to start chemo with Docetaxel, hopefully in the next few weeks.
Our consultant has said they wouldn’t have expected to see a spread of the cancer after starting treatment…particularly after his fall in PSA. I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Every time we go for a review the news seems worse……his ordinal Gleason score at diagnosis was 4 + 3…..no one has aid if that has changed and I don’t know if I really want to ask…..
my husband is 63 and we are so hoping we can throw everything at this and get to spend more time together…..but this journey is so hard…
was comforting reading about other people’s experiences though….thank you
