I am so sorry to hear that, my heart goes out to you : (((. I am also a wife of PC patient and our fight started last year so I am not very versed with last stages but just want to send you my love and understanding and I wish I know more or could be of more help.

Could you tell us where are you treated at present time ? Maybe different group of doctors would have some more creative ideas and have some new ways to slow down your husband's cancer : ((( .

I also want to say that in recent years pain management for cancer patients advanced a lot and there are different ways to approach it depending of where cancer causes the most pain. I did some Googling and it seams that localized radiation is used to reduce tumor burden in bones and nerve blocks if tumors are pressing on some nerves. The rest of the pain is managed with opioids. It would be the best if you could find good center for palliative care
that would work with your oncologist and coordinate future care.

I am so sorry dear @debbie02 😔, I can only imagine the shock and anguish that you are both enduring today and I wish I can say or do something to help. I am sending you both hugs and will hold you in my thoughts and prayers 💗.

@surftohealth88 thank you so much for the kind words. Through the entire 4 years of treatment he did great and even continued to work. 2 weeks ago he was hurting in his pelvic area and hip, had a pet scan and today being told it’s in your entire body was such a shock! He still thinks he will be going back to work on Monday. I don’t know if he is in denial or just that stubborn. I have to admit he had me convinced he was going to beat cancer until the last few weeks and realized the worst is about to happen. I am a wreck! I don’t know what to do how to plan and most of all how to be supportive for him.
