Serious complications and side effects from prostate cancer treatments
My spouse is experiencing side effects from all the prostate cancer treatments that include radiation to chemo to surgery and hormones and over a period of 8 years. He now is suffering serious side effects from treatments for the cancer and has serious side effects from treatments for FISTULAS that were a result of zTreatments . Anyone have similar issues?

Any experience with Enza please I'm 78
As of now , I'm taking Abiraterone Acetate pills and Prednisone daily and
Eligard shots every 3 months
I completed my 6 Chemotherapy at the end of October
My last Zometa infusion was in April so I could get dental work
Was chemo oral pills enzalutamide
Or injection at hospital
If I start pills they say its forever
My chemo was Taxotere
I received the treatments at a cancer center
I got 6 treatments 3 weeks apart
I got them through infusion
They say I will be on a pill for life, once I come resistance to this pill I will get on another one
I go today to have PET scan. We hope it hasn't spread any further
