Hello, yesterday we found out that my partner has advanced metastatic PC, he is 56 and had very little symptoms.
Initial PSA of 134 prompted a bone scan and from that he has been diagnosed and started on Degarelix.
We are now waiting to meet with Oncology and he is still to have MRI and biopsies to confirm staging etc.
I did ask if we needed all the other tests to confirm, however, the Urologist promptly said no, based on PSA, bone scan and DRE, there is no doubting his diagnosis, we are just unclear on spread to lymph glands etc.
Prognosis is 5-10 years, maybe more, quite vague but I understand treatments are changing all the time.
I feel really numb, I don't know what to expect, I just want to make sure I support Paul as best as I can.....this is all still sinking in. Is there anyone here in similar situation who can offer advice? It's really helpful reading some of the posts on this forum.
Wishing everyone who unfortunately find themselves here the very best❤️
