Hello lovely people I just popped on to ask a quick question about prostate cancer that’s spread to the bone ( in my dads case hip and 3rd vertebrae)
My question is , did the pain ever get that bad you were bed bound until treatment or through treatment ??
did you get depressed and take the news that bad you was in bed all the time with pain …
At what point of your journey were you offered help, support and most importantly treatment or medication so you could try and live a normal life
I no I came on here only a few days ago with great news that dad finally had his mri booked in for next week for his spine , but I’ve been round tonight and I can only feel so sorry for him that it’s like the 14th week of him being in his bed
it’s not even like my dad anymore because before this horrible diagnosis he was literally as fit as a fiddle , never drank didn’t smoke went to the gym every day and ate so healthy , so it’s a massive shock to see him like this
the only thing he is on is morphine
prostap , and a medication beginning with a b , but it’s obviously not working …..
my question is … is this it now do they just leave him there for me to care for him and watch him be the way he is ? Surely there is more help or hope than this
thanks again lovely people x
