Hello Elizabeth, et al,
I see this is your second posting on this issue. I can provide some understanding of both the disease progression and treatment. Sorry, but I do not do social support. I see that you have already found others who provide that function.
Elizabeth I am not to sure if your post is a statement of your husband's prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis or perhaps you are seeking information on small cell PCa? If I may, I will just give you a quick overview of small cell PCa, which by the way is rare, (in Australia 1% of PCa cases), can, but not usually, be a primary tumour, together with adenocarcinoma, which unlike small cell PCA is hormone sensitive and produces PSA. Small cell tumours are poorly differentiated (irregular shape) and more common in the lungs. Small Cell PCa is a very aggressive cancer. Prognosis is poor (< 12 months). Treatment is Platinium Based chemotherapy and may be combined with Taxenes.
Specific questions relating to your husband's prognosis and treatment should of course be directed to your husband's treating Oncologist. Any questions of a general nature on small cell PCa I would be happy to answer.
