My husband was diagnoised with metastatic prostate cancer in December 2020. The following month, he had an appointment at Mayo Clinic for a second opinion. The C11- choline PET scan confirmed the diagnosis. Mayo gave him a shot of Firmagon. In February 2021, he started his six chemo treatments every three weeks. In between all of this & still to this day, he gets a shot of Lupron every three months. When I asked the doctor about his prognosis, I was told things are at bay. This past summer, he was diagnosised with a pulmonay embolism. In both lungs. He now takes Eliquis twice a day. All of this is buying him more time. It's hard, for me, being his caretaker. He's a narcissist. And a narcissist with cancer is even worse!

I recommend going to Mayo Clinic for any serious illiness/second opinion. Thanks to them, I'm a 29 year brain tumor survivor!!
