Advanced Prostate Cancer

Hi ConstantReader welcome to the club.  I think we all deal with diagnosis in our different ways.  Keeping a positive mindset really helps I think.  I am pleased you are tolerating Enzalutamide well, I found it very hard in the 3 months I was on it.  As you say, the alternative to treatment isn’t very appealing!  Having lived with this for a long time, we just try and do normal things.  I am reluctant to book anything too far in front but also we don’t put things off.

Thanks, David. I'm finding mindfulness sessions at Maggie's a great help with keeping positive. It is also a good place for someone living alone to socialise at the 'kitchen table.' At 77 I have many friends  my age and younger receiving cancer treatment and I realise that the enzalutamide is nowhere near so draining or gruelling a treatment as some of the chemo they are prescribed. I am very grateful indeed for all the support, professional and otherwise, I am given.

Great attitude.
