Hello,
My dad is 87, mum died last year and he lives with me. He’s had prostate cancer for many years but it is now metastatic and apparently widespread in his bones. He has been having implants and medication ( Becolutamide?) for several months but the consultant says he seems to be one of the unfortunate ones who doesn’t respond to the treatment. There is still steroids and a new drug she says he can try but she cautioned that as he hadn’t responded to the other hormone treatments that the new drug may not be successful either. I know he can’t live forever, when I took him in to live with me after we lost mum I expected the ‘end’ to come in the form of a stroke/infection/ heart attack etc, etc. It now seems the cancer will take him and I’m scared. I don’t know what to expect. He hates being in hospital and I think he would want to be at home. At the moment he doesn’t seem to be entirely aware of the gravity of the situation. I feel very alone and worried about what’s ahead.
