My Father was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in May 2024. He had the TURP operation in April 2024.
They were confident that the cancer was contained within the Prostate and started him on hormone treatment.
He went for a staging scan on 3rd June and had an appointment on 18th June, where we found out the cancer has spread to his bones and lymph nodes.
They aren't sure if his cancer is also in his stomach. They think this because something has been showing up and his white blood cells were high. They gave him antibiotics, incase its just an infection.
They won't.test for the stomach cancer because even if it is, they can't give him chemo, due to poor kidneys. So he is now under palliative care.
Everyone has been amazing and so helpful. Macmillian have ensured that his pain is controlled.
I I think as a family, the biggest shock was how quickly it went from just being in the prostate to in his bones etc.
We don't know how long we have left with him and are trying to enjoy what time.we do have left.
