Thank you so much, that's really helpful.
He is 72.
We spoke to the MacMillan nurse today who went through his treatment plan and gave us a bit more info in terms of what was found in the MRI and Biopsy:
- cancer located edge of prostate capsule and in the seminal vesicle, graded T3B
- doesn't seem to have effected lymph nodes or bones, however a bone scan to will be arranged to confirm.
- Bicalutamide (50g) started today. One tablet each day for 21 days.
- injections to start from next Thursday/Friday. This will be every month or every 3/12 until radiotherapy treatment begins.
- radiotherapy to start in 8 weeks time. This will be a course of daily sessions for 4-6 weeks.
- from there, the oncologist will decide on further hormonal treatment and how long for.
We are all in a state of shock however, speaking to the nurse today reassured us that this is treatable.
Any more information or advice you have would be really helpful.
Thank you again for taking the time to reply!
