I wondered about starting a new thread for this, but decided not to cause it is interesting to link to my history.
My Dad (88 next week) has just been diagnosed with advanced PC this week, with a PSA of 1500 and spreads into at least liver and bones. I saw him 7 weeks ago, he had lost weight (which he needed to) but wasn't complaining of any pain. My sister saw him 2 weeks ago and similarly, he wasn't complaining of pain then either. But as of today, his pain is a problem, and from tomorrow will be on morphine.
He has dementia which has been gradually deteriorating for the last about 10 years, and maybe this has contributed to his tolerance of symptoms or perhaps inability to express what's going on with him.
But I guess PSA of 1500, with it in at least liver and bones - probably elsewhere too, with him not eating much and being on morphine means we're in a very short last lap - a few weeks at best?
Interesting perspective for me to experience this with my Dad, with my 3rd 3-monthly PSA test post treatment due next week, after the first 2 'undetectables'. Brings a new perspective to have got this nasty disease removed from me at an early age!
