Hello all , I managed to get my dad another mri scan date , it says on the letter they want a full imagine of his spine I’m presuming there checking for spinal cord compression , does anyone no if he has this what they will do ??
so far dads had
xray
psa level bloods .. 135 at the moment
ct scan either contrast
urine samples
he’s on prostap injection and a tablet to go with that , but he’s been on that a while now
I’m hoping after this mri scan we can move forward with some possible treatment , what are peoples thoughts
dad has prostate cancer spread to hip and 3rd vertebrae:(
he’s been in real pain and since finding out he’s what I will only describe as “ took to his bed “ he’s able to shuffle to the toilet and I am showering in , I have a carer going in and checking on him in the morning , I’m just hoping after this things can start to improve with some sort of treatment
hope you all have a lovely Christmas , me and my brothers are going out for dinner but my dad doesn’t want to so I’m having one plated up for him and taking it to him after our dinner , he said he doesn’t feel like going out as he’s pretty weak tbh so I don’t blame him x
