Hi All,
I haven't been on here for such a long time.
Unfortunately things have got really bad for my dad.
After spending the summer in hospital, he had a really good few months on enzalutamide. He has detoriated quite badly over the last couple of months. At his last review his ids level had gone from 85 to 135 in 4 weeks. He had a couple of falls the week before Christmas and then was admitted in to hospital last week. He had a scan last week which showed the cancer had spread all the way up his spine. Yesterday we were called to the hospital and was told to get there as soon as we could. I was not prepared for how my dad was. He had had two brain seizures and was in a coma. His consultant came to see us. He told us he had seen the scan he had last week and his words were my dad was riddled with cancer and a very aggressive one at that. It had also spread in to his liver. He also told us my dad would not wake up from the coma and wouldn't make the end of the week. To our very surprise my dad came out of the coma wondering what all the fuss was about and why everybody was with him. He is going for a brain scan tomorrow to see what caused the seizures. Our guesses are one of two things, it is either compression on the brain as the cancer is in his skull and all the way down his spine or the cancer has spread to his brain. I have read that it is very rare for prostrate cancer to spread to the brain.
I wondered if anybody on here has come across this before?? this is completely heartbreaking and such a roller coaster of a ride xx
