Does Chemo work? Is it worth it?

I am doing much better now,, the awful pain I had in my leg is long gone. Started hormone (Firmagon) one month before starting the chemo. It's not pleasant but definitely doable. I was still working at the time, on my feet and it takes some out of you. For me, being in the bones, I take forever meds. You just have to learn to accept it, so much better then the alternative. Let your dad know he can do this and also one thing I know helped me, my wife was there for all 10 rounds, wouldn't want to go through it by myself. Also for me, it was every 3 weeks, not sure about doing it every week. It's almost 2 years for me and I'm doing good. Make sure he gets to ring the bell.. I wish him and you the best on his journey. Best to all.

Thank you so much for your response. It's been a very tough journey. The constant pain in his legs are the worst! I'm afraid and I pray that once chemo is started that it works! Your post gives me hope. Please continue to be well!

Do you know what chemo you took? Were you sick? Tired? Lose hair? Any other symptoms? Did you do hormone therapy before?
