My husband was diagnosed with stage 4b prostate cancer last November. He is undergoing a triple protocol treatment comprising ADT, abiraterone, and docetaxel chemo. His doctor told us that his cancer is treatable but not curable.

He just had his 4th chemo infusion and is struggling with side effects, such as nausea, constipation, mpsore mouth, and fatigue. It really hurts to see him struggle. But his doctor tells me that he can provide the medical care but my husband desperately needs support from his family.

Yeah the chemo is what terrifies my husband! He can't do the second part (zytiga?) ADT pills because his liver enzymes are high....I'm hoping he'll do chemo soon to get some relief. He's weak now, tired, can only sleep about an hour and a half at a time at night, has pain other places too. I lost my mom a week ago and I'm dealing with that too, then thinking about losing my husband because he won't do the protocol treatment....life really sucks but I have my faith and know God will get me through it all.
