I did try to start a new thread but, alas, I just keep getting an 'Access Denied' message so will continue on this thread...
So, after a 2 week wait since his MRI and Bone scans, my Dad finally had the stage of his PCa confirmed - T3b N0 M1. When the Urologist confirmed there didn't appear to be any spread to his lymph nodes, I naively thought "we're home and dry" but then, like a kick in the stomach, he showed us the evidence of spread to his pelvic bone and I knew, right then, my lovely Dad had joined the incurable camp.
Dad seems pretty upbeat and just wants to crack on with the treatment. He's already on HT (degarelix) and will commence Chemo once he's met with his Oncologist in the next couple of weeks. Mum and I really want to remain positive for him but I have to admit, I'm feeling pretty numb. I'm praying he tolerates the chemo well and it does what's expected.
I'd love to hear some positive stories from those living with advanced PCa right now. TIA x
