Hello there , I managed to get a gp to my dad yesterday who said dad didn’t need to be in hospital but he’s changing his medication to patches as he isnt taking the morphine correctly so I don’t think it’s working as it should , he’s seems to have a appetite at the minute so he’s eating well and even asked for supper last night , he’s got his ct scan on Tuesday ( I’ve arranged hospital transport ) as I have really been struggling getting him to his appointments due to his pain in back and hip
I had a few questions for anyone who’s got prostate that’s traveled to there hip and spine …
did the patches work for you better ??
is the pain that bad your in bed ??
are you tired all the time ?
are you feeling depressed ?
and what happens after the ct scan
I don’t think they will be able to complete biopsy yet but so far they have X-ray 2 lots of psa bloods they will have scan results Tuesday ….. the reason I don’t think they will be able to do his biopsy is because my dads in bed a lot now due to pain and I honestly don’t think he would handle it “ just yet “
thanks for reading and please reply if you think you cool’s answer my questions
thankyou x
