My dads been diagnosed with prostate cancer unfortunately and it’s spread to his hip and 3rd vertebrae causing him to be mostly bed bound , he is on pro stap injections aswell
so far he’s had
urine sample
xray
2 lots of prostate bloods results were 135
full blood count
3 weeks ago he has a contrast ct scan
yesterday I had a phone call to say that his results had gone to a mdt meeting and that dad needs to come in for his results and speak to the consultant , he can’t actually do that at the moment as he is house bound and it’s to much for him and they also want him to go in for a mri
if I can get patient transport to get him in for his mri scan before Christmas, how long after that do people think they can possibly start treatment , im really concerned about my dad hes loosing weight and hes deteriorating in my eyes anyway even though the doctor said his bmi is fine and wont give him ensure drinks which im upset about because he isn’t eating properly what so ever
hes a very very stubborn man and has been very selfish with some decisions with this illness but he said he will definitely go for this scan if he can make it
I really need to start making some phone calls on Monday because I don’t think this can carry on the way things are going I need answers and I feel like he’s getting left in bed to just wither away
thankyou for reading
