Hello,
My husband was diagnosed in 2020 with Advanced prostate cancer, with mets in lymph nodes, pelvis and 2 ribs. He has done really well with his oral chemo/hormone treatment until shock last night.
He had checkup scans in January this year and even though his PSA was rising all looked good and we were told not to worry about it.
Last night he was admitted to hospital with what we thought was a bad uti infection and on new scans it showed the cancer has spread to liver and lower lung nodes since January!
I always understood this was a slow growing cancer and we cannot get our heads around this complete bolt out of the blue, it feels as bad as when he was first diagnosed.
My daughter and I are so scared, does this mean there is nothing else they can do? we have to wait for oncology and probably more scans in case it's anywhere else, but the terror is choking us.
Has anyone else had it spread so quickly before and if so what have they said can be done?
Sorry, to go on but just trying to sort my head out about this shock.
thank you much.
Thankyou, sadly nothing has changed, they called us in late last night not knowing if he would make it through but still with us. He is not a candidate for resus or ventilator though he is on oxygen and I think that is the only thing keeping him going. Kidneys going down and consolidation in lungs. Such a fast downhill turn, not quite sure how to process it and basically prepare. Heartbreaking especially for our daughter, her and her dad so close

My last post as sadly my wonderful husband and Beth's loving father, David passed away peacefully earlier this evening due to Sepsis (compounded by his cancer).
Thankyou to everyone for your kind words and prayers, they have brought comfort in our most trying time.
We wish all of you on this journey good luck, good health and all the love possible.
