Husband

Hi

Sorry how things are going for your husband, chemotherapy can effect people in different ways, it is a poison flowing through your body, but is the best thing to keep cancer at bay.

Hormone therapy also helps attack the cancer, all these things keep us going, we fight the best way we can, we rely on oncologists to give us the best treatment. 
My wife worries about me changing the bed, she knows I have the odd low, but I’m a bouncy type of a person, always ready to put a smile on her face knowing my wife is always there for me, gives me strength to go on another year and hopefully more. Never feel low we look for inspiration being there is all we ever want.

Hope he gets out of hospital soon, I know how chemo can hurt the body.

Stay safe 

Joe

I have been saying I think it's hardest on my wife than me seeing me go through all this and the treatments, which have been tougher than the cancer itself. Her just being there for me is all I ever need and it gives me strength, I'm sure your husband is the same. I hope he feels better and starts on a new treatment soon. I am on hormone injections every 6 months and enzulatimide daily (another hormone drug) and it's reduced my PSA to undetectable and I am feeling better. Take care

Sorry to hear your husband is having a tough time of late. Try to keep your spirits up. It is so hard when a loved one is suffering. I am so pleased my wife is helping me through all these treatments, appointments and the like. I do hope things settle down for him and yourself. 

Best wishes, Graham. 

Thank you for your kind words. He's due to start enzulatamide this weekend if he's stopped vomiting. 

Graham thank you. We'd just retired when he was diagnosed and things are progressing so fast

Hi

I’m on enzalutamide now, it’s a good drug, kind of spaces you out a bit but it does work.

stay safe

Joe

Ahh fingers crossed for you, enzulatimide is a good drug. It has its side effects but I have found ways to manage them. Best of luck x

Thank you. I'm so glad I joined this group. Its lifted some of those black clouds. 

If you listen to music I would like to reccommend a song by Billy Bragg from his new album. I saw Billy recently at the Sage Gateshead and he sang 'I will be your shield.' It is a very emotional song and it relates, I think, about what we and others are going through. I was in tears listening to it and it gets me every time. You can find it on Youtube. It is well worth a listen, powerful song, lovely words.

Bestvwishes, Graham. 

Will do. Take care
