My dad woke on morning with a numbness to his leg the next morning he couldnt use it 12 hrs later we had the news that is was PC with psa i think they call them up at 2000. My dad is 81 good blood pressure healthy 48 hr before he was diagnosed he had come off a 12hr shift. He has never a days illness in his life exept the odd cold
They said that he could have chemo because of his age so they started hormones for several month he had literally had no use of his legs but he up on his feet things were looking good but over the last few weeks not so good his psa had gone to 900 but now there back up. I find it so hard at times to stay positive and keep my dad going
