Subject: aggresive secondary bone cancer
Date: 03/01/2008
hi, my  64 year old dad has been suffering prostate cancer for the last 6 years and slowly over the past 12 months his PSA has risen, my dad had a bone scan done in october last year but the cancer at that time had not spread.  Since last October though my dads PSA had started to double and the doctors had said that the hormone therapy treatment was not being effective anymore.  Since New Year my dad has become very poorly and has been admitted to hospital a couple of times due to the pain he has been experiencing in his stomach and chest.  last week my dad had another bone scan which indicated that his cancer has aggresively spread to all of his long bones (spine, legs, arms, ribs etc) his PSA is now 134 and he is so unwell that he now just lays there and feels sick most of the time.  the doctors also had said that they seem to think he might have an obstruction in his stomach.... while my dad was in hospital they gave him 2 units of blood as he was very anemic.  he has now been sent home and he is on morphine.... the doctor did mention a couple of weeks ago (before he had his last bone scan) that there was a possability of him going on to a drug trial but now they have said that he can not due to his liver function test.... i feel i can't plan anything as i dont know how much time my dad has left, and all i see is a frail old man starting to come up in brusies on his arms and face and i dont know what to expect or do...please can somebody help me prepare myself for what lies ahead???? a very worried daughter
