Hi Nicola. I completely understand where you are coming from. My Dad was diagnosed with Advanced PCa in Jan 2013. His has spread to his bones in a number of places throughout his abdomen. I feel that my parents also do not ask questions but I also understand that in the early days since diagnosis it is a lot to take in. My dad was put onto Zoladex by way of a 3 monthly injection which got his PSA level down. It has since started to rise and last week he was also put on to Casodex, so fingers crossed that PSA will go down again. When you read up on all of the treatments, there are the possibilities of many side effects, some not so nice, however, he has had a few hot flushes but in general has been very lucky so hopefully your Dad will be too. It's hard isn't it when you want to be brave and positive for your parents and not let them see how you are feeling yourself. Keep us informed as to how he gets on (and you). I am certainly no medical expert and don't understand a lot of the jargon but I do know how you feel from a daughter's perspective. Take care. Rachel
