good evening men. i have a group question here. i,m 57 years old and i feel that is kind of young to have prostate cancer. so my question for the men is what is the age of some of you?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

Unfortunately, he passed away in April. He didn't go down without a fight, though.

Below is a time line:

August 2022, the cancer returned. The doctors put him on Zytiga. He complained of side effects. The doctors then put him on Lynparza. Again, he complained of side effects. In November, he started Pluvicto treatments. December, he was diagnosed with small cell carcinoma of the lungs. In January, he had 5 days of radiation. In February, he had Immunotherapy. A week later, he developed neutropenia. In March, hospice. In April, he passed away.

My husband was a very unique person. We never sat down & talked about his diagnosis or treatment
options. He wanted to be in charge of everything. I was just expected to get him to all of his appointments. Which I was able to do. He became more & more angry, though, once he knew he was loosing battle. Luckily, I realized that. I just listened. I did not make any comments or suggestions. Hopefully, there's good communication between the two of you. If anything, be there for your husband. Being told you have cancer is bad enough. Being told you have advanced cancer has be to a million times worse. Keep in touch.

You may or may not like my response, but here goes. THC edibles and tinctures saved my life during chemo. I liked the tincture most because I could control the dosage.

FYI, I never partook before my diagnosis. I am not a pot head. I asked my doctor for their advice, being from Texas they certainly couldn’t prescribe it (we had a good laugh), and ethics doesn’t allow them to recommend it. However, they told me there are a ton of patients that have reported positive results. Including some of their own.

If if you are in a state where it is legal, no problem. If not, drive to one where it is and bring some back. My adult kids and their friends got it for me.
