@reesethecat I can relate to your concern somewhat.

My husband is in treatment for prostate cancer and osteoarthritis. The medication he is on for both conditions caused him to lose his appetite - and a lot of weight over the past few months as a result. He would not, could not eat or drink and complained he could not taste anything. A few bites of any food was all he could tolerate. His oncologist and rheumatologist finally tweaked his dosages and now he has begun to eat normally because he can taste what he is eating.

Has your husband had a PSA test done recently? My husband’s previous physician brushed off any requests to order a PSA test for years, saying they are not recommended anymore and simply increasing the dosage of medication for his urinary tract complaints. We moved to another city, found a new doctor after a year long search for one. New doctor ordered a PSA test and the resulting number was through the roof: over 200! Biopsies on all twelve areas showed cancer. With treatment now, his prostate cancer is in control (albeit causing some side effects) but we hate to think what might have been had we not moved here!
