Hello! My husband has recently been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer so all of this is new to us and terrifying to say the least. I would like to chat anytime. This is like a nightmare I keep praying I wake up from. 🥺

Hello. My husband is 71. Diagnosed a year ago. 4+4, radical prostatectomy + some lymph nodes. The MRI and Pet scan had shown no distant metastasis but the pathology report showed the cancer had gone to the lymph nodes and PSA after surgery showed 3.85. So, since July ADT with zytiga and prednisone + eligard injections. At the same time salvage radiotherapy - all 32 sessions. Cancer is now undetectable and the journey is on. And it is just that: a journey. Take care of him, love him, prepare good, home made meals that are not cancer friendly, push him to do more exercise and the some more (exercise with him!). Walk at least 30 minutes daily together. 30% of recovery / cure is our mind set. Every new day is a blessing. Cancer is never easy but nowadays is not a death sentence either. When I was driving him to the radiation sessions, I was driving by Nicklaus hospital - and I was thinking: there are children with cancer there. And they make it. We are blessed to have access to all the good medicine and the support of loved ones. Reach out whenever you want. You are not alone. Hugs!
