Supporting a person with prostate cancer

DH has been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer pretty much out of the blue. It is not curable, but should hopefully be manageable in the short to medium term at least. It is been an absolute roller coaster since a GP asked for a PSA test without telling him back in April.

He's currently on androgen deprivation therapy, injections and tablets, and is struggling with the side effects. He is not a candidate for chemo.

Our lives have changed completely in the last six months and it has been really hard to adapt. Given that prostate cancer seems to be so common now, I'm sure I can't be the only woman on here who is having this experience. Perhaps we could all support each other through the medium of this thread?

Enjoy the holiday. My husbands psa has dropped from 27 to 8 after three weeks of Prostap. Oncologist is recommending Abiraterone next week as he’s T3b and also organised a PSMA pet scan to check for micro metastatic spread, which we’re pleased about. All the best to everyone out there facing this .
