Hi all
I am new here!
Joined the forum in desperation for some answers and having read through previous conversation it looks like there is a lot of support out there and I am hoping someone may be able to offer some advice.
My dad was diagnosed with Advance Metastatic Prostate Cancer last November which has now spread to a lot of his bones and even hi bone marrow and his PSA continues to rise. He has been having zoladex treatment for the past 12 months but it doesn’t seem to be working. At the same time of finding out about his prostate cancer diagnosis he also found out he has heart failure and because of this the oncologist is saying there is no further treatment he can offer and has basically discharged him. Is there anyone else out there that has heart failure but also receiving another form of prostate cancer treatment?
We are his just not ready to give up and accept that there is nothing else we can try so hoping someone can offer some glimmer of hope.
Also from experience with zoladex has anyone had any specific side effects? As we are struggling to identify whether symptoms my dad is experiencing is from his cancer or the treatment and what is a symptoms of the heart failure.
Thanks for any responses in advance, Lucy.
