Advanced Prostate Cancer

As a minister's daughter, I can relate. You two are the ones everyone else has leaned on all these years. Your congregation and then some. You have been the strong ones 24 hours a day, each and every year. When something like this happens, it's very hard to reach out to those folks in return.

My heart goes out to you and your wife. A brother of my new sister-in-law was recently diagnosed with a PSA count of 500+ (with spreading) at the age of 78. The first doctor told him he had three weeks to live and they placed him in hospice care. BUT, the next doctor did testing and decreed him fine for at least another five years, if not longer. He's home, enjoying life again and feeling great. (I do not know what treatments he is undergoing, as yet.)

There IS hope - as many others on here will tell you, too.

Dear Sick

I am so sorry to read of your prognosis. It shook me up terribly to read your post. Faith has gotten you this far what with your wifes and your situation. Do not lose that faith. As you, being a man of god knows, the Lord works in mysterious ways. Rely on hm in your time of need. I will include you in my prayers. The best of luck to you.

That is hard news to hear, but do not give up hope.  There are treatments available that can hold advanced prostate cancer at bay.  Medical miracles take place all the time.  Please continue to  hope and pray.  You don't say how old you and what physical condition you are in.  This, too, has a role in disease  outcomes.  You are in my prayers for a long life.  Take care and hang in there.
