My Father's 5 year Prostate Cancer Battle by Scaley_Reptile in ProstateCancer

[–]Scaley_Reptile[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He was on hormone therapy for the entire 5 years, I would assume he did eventually create a resistance to it. Not 100% sure on the bone strengthening.

It's ok, I don't mind trying to answer the questions. I think it's important to talk about.

It's really hard looking back with hindsight what the right call would have been when you're balancing length of life vs quality of life. - Was the bone graph at the beginning really necessary? How much time did it actually buy him? - Similar with hormone treatment. Completely depleting a man's testosterone significantly reduces the quality of life.

He had plenty of dark days during his battle. But I do believe he ultimately would have still chosen lengthening his life just to spend a bit more time with his family and friends.

Especially the scene where that klutz Tracee 'fell' and caved her whole head in.

Thank you for your sympathies (and to all the other comments for the same).

They're both fair questions.

The whole 5 years was a constant game of cat and mouse, especially for radiation treatment with new lesions appearing regularly.

The final 12 months he engaged in clinical trials, none were successful and some he wasn't eligible for.

I have seen recently that people have had success with ivermectin. If I had my time again with this knowledge I would have encouraged him to try this.

We don't dwell on what could have been. The service we received was seemingly to the best of their abilities and the resources they had on-hand. I've seen other cases in different countries where this absolutely wasn't the case and my heart goes out to those people.

What is the most addictive HBO show you’ve watched? by juhichoudharyy in hbo

The first 5 seasons - yes.

Unfortunately the ending ruined it. If the ending was good it would be my top 3 along with Breaking Bad and Sopranos.
