How do lifestyle factors and exposure to environmental substances affect our cancer risk?
Dear Jerry,I have not had anytime to come on here lateley because my husband has been very sick.I do want to make sure I do tell you my husband did the best with Zytiga while it worked.He at least had a good summer while it worked but it didnt last long for him but nothing has worked very long for him but every day counts.Hes had some bumps down the road surgery because he lost feeling in his legs and then radiation ...
Does anyone out there have a psa this high?It was 500 beggining of Jan. and now it went down 100 points because he had radiation to the brain.Any info. would be great!
I don't want to scare you but I do not agree with people who say its a slow growing cancer.Don't mess around my husband was diagnosed at 51 with stage 4 prostrate to the bone so I don't think in his case it was slow?Everyone is different.I do think the older you get it the slower it grows because you have less testosterone which feeds this type of cancer.I have heard very good luck with the radiation seeds and my hus...
Sorry to hear about your husband. My husband was diagnosed at 51 but his gleason was 8 and psa was 335.His was already in the bones unfortunatley.
