Hi all

My husband was diagnosed with locally advanced prostate cancer in June. Amazing care initially with things happening so very quickly with oncology nurse appt and MRI but then there was a long delay due to the bone scanner being broken and causing a month delay then when we eventually got the scan it showed a suspicious area on the spine so then needing a further MRI. I am sure you all know the story - test, wait for results, wait for a date for the next test, wait for the test, wait for the result… anyway eventually started hormone treatment prior to radiotherapy which I hope will start Jan/Feb.
It is just breaking my heart today watching the effect it is having on him. He is very independent but is feeling pain and weakness in his muscles and joints and fatigue (which he hates to admit to), hot flushes (manageable). Just joined this group as I thought it might be a safe space to vent where you may understand. Thankyou.

Hi Lynne.

I'm sorry that your husband is struggling at the moment and can fully understand how upsetting it must be. I hope the result of further scans results are favourable.

Please keep us updated. There will always be someone here to help and support you.

I wish you both the best of luck.
