Great to find a group that we can share with other people going through the same thing.
I am doing this for my husband because he dose t use any computers or technical devices at all.
He had T4 prostrate cancer 16 years ago and had radical surgery to remove his prostrate. And for 12 year his prostrate remained at almost 0.
Then 4 years ago it started to rise then, 2 years ago it got to 8.2 as it is slow growing the consultant wasn’t to concerned but checked his PSA every 6 months in 2019 it rose to 10.5 but and stayed that way all year. So the consultant decided that he would have yearly checks but if it rose to above 20 he would start HT. the COVID happened! We had just moved so had to change our doctors. He didn’t have any blood tests the I decided I would ask the doctors to do a blood test. It came back at 20+ they phoned my husband and asked him if this was normal. ( my husband doesn’t understand the terms ) he told them yes. They left it at that. Then just before the first May bank holiday he had a nasty cough and coughing phlegm. I made an appointment and he was sent for a X-Ray. 3 days later sent for a CT scan. The doctor phoned and told him it looked like the cancer was in his spine and he had to go for a blood test the next day and result were through in the afternoon it show his PSA was up to 30+. He was sent to see the consultant and they put him on Bicaluamide 50g for 14 days then HT injections first one was end 26th next one is the 3 month one. He had another CT scan of his lower body and it showed the cancer had spread to his pelvis and spine. We are seeing another consultant on the 27th July to talk about other treatments. He is well and so far hasn’t had any side affects except tiredness, but he sits and knaps a lot before the injection He eats well. He said no matter what happen he isn’t having radiotherapy or chemotherapy. He is 78 ears old and feels he doesn’t want to sit and suffer the side affects. Will HT help him on its own? I know it won’t cure it.
