My Dad is a normally healthy 68 year old, who still works. In June he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and rather harshly told it had spread to his bones and lymph node and it wasn't curable. His PSA was 117.
He started on hormone therapy injections immediately and has since had 4 lots. He also started chemo as part of the stampede trial. He has been feeling unwell, extremely worn out and quite down over the last few days. His PSA is now down to 6.7. My brother and I feel optimistic that his PSA has dropped dramatically and we are hoping this is a good sign?
This roller coaster of emotions and feelings is absolutely horrific for all of us as we are an extremely close family, and to see our Dad so low is quite unbearable. My Dad is struggling with what the future could hold, as there's no time scales and he likes to be in control of everything.
Any thoughts and advise greatly appreciated.
