Hello everyone, I thought I will report on our appointment today as we learnt facts we did not know: Firstly Jacob is doing well at the moment ( we knew that). We did not know that he has multiple lesions because the bones scan report only counted...
I was diagnosed with advanced metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer early 2023. Gleason score 9, stage 4 with metastases in some bones. No surgery but I've had radiotherapy and current treatment is 160mg Enzalutamide daily and Decapeptyl jabs...
