(153 posts)This is just so awful that this is going on. My husband has prostate cancer too... and I just hope you get the very best care. His is metastic and didn't have to be, so really hope they are giving you lots of scans and people that know about the latest, greatest treatments, not this "gold standard" stuff that is what we were given advice for. Fortunatley we got a different Dr. and he is very aggressive with how he treats it and for 5 years now mostly undectable. Came back again and once again he got it back to undetectable. Big decisions to make with treatment and I so hope you have good people helping. Tired of people like the ones you described that think it is no big deal, treat it like a big deal and find different opinions to make sure you are doing things right. Best wishes, shocking at first but so many things happening in prostate cancer that you can find hope in treating it. The treatments are stressful on everyone, you don't need these folks making life harder... I hope they change or you just can have some more supportive people around.
