Hi All. My husband was diagnosed with stage 4b in January 2025 and he had triplet therapy last year (and ongoing hormone treatment and darolutimide). My husband’s PSA started rising a few months ago and a PSMA PET scan showed one (possibly two) areas...
After the debacle with my surgeon I asked to be referred to oncology which the surgeon agreed to. He was probably relieved. Anyway the meeting went well. The consultant was a young female and having told her that my biggest problem was the patriarchal...
Just an update on my husband’s diagnosis, we had a meeting with the consultant today. All the results are back. Still T3b , Gleason 9, not so good, but 4+5, not the other way around, which is a small win. The good news (at the moment) is that the CT and...

My dad is 87 and had prostate cancer on watchful waiting but it has now spread to his hip and thigh. So much for “watchful waiting”. He is very down and worried about the future and being a burden. My mum is also 87 and is trying really hard to cope but...
I will continue with my search for this topic, but my question might be quite specific and I may not find any hits. I'm really struggling with the hot flashes while on ADT (Zoladex). At first I found it funny and even joked with my wife (menopausal...
