I exhausted all the drugs , number of years ago, including few clinical trials. Last few years I have been living on home made Lipo vitamin C and supplements. I was on restrict diet for a while. Cancer spreading to lymph nodes. No longer able to walk. Second Chemo consisted of mixing number of the Chemo drugs, PSA still rising. Can not use bathroom close to a week. Lived over seven years with Castration Resistance Prostate Cancer ( CSPC) and pain. Running out of options. Started refusing treatments. I put up a good fight, losing it now. Looking for hospice or other short ways out. No joy left to continue the fight for.

We all hope to know when our time to stop fighting has arrived. It seems that time has arrived for you. Hospice is a wonderful asset and there is no reason you should live with pain. They should be able to bring you comfort. I pray that you have loved ones around you and that you find peace and comfort.
So sorry to hear this...there is a time to fight and a time to quit.... have you had gene mapping of your cancer??...there may be one of the immunotherapy drugs that is a match for you... God bless you, brother....since I am part Irish.... May the roof over your head be always strong. And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
Some of Dr. Bob's patients have lived decades after being in you condition.
He does high dose testosterone very successfully. And, there are newly approved options apalutamide (ERLEADA) --- I would also contact my OC and get gene tested for mutations which you almost surely have.
WTF you just joined our group a month ago.... you can't quit on us now. I know it's easy for me to say but fight your ass off. bboby----->fist bump<-----J-o-h-n

God Bless you bboby.. We all will lay down our arms at some point.. in this we all are equal.. No more suffering or pain. Light a torch for the rest of us along the way. Peace
It sounds like you feel that your time to end the fight and surrender into what is has come. This is a very personal decision but one that each and everyone has to make on their own unfortunately. I hope you have loved ones around you who will support you on your final journey. Hospice is great and there is absolutely no reason why you or anyone should live in more pain than absolutely necessary. Keep posting to this forum if you like and let us know how you are getting on.
I can only hope I have your strength should I end up on the same path. Like you I'll fight it as long as I can, but I to want to go in peace when the time comes. All the best, I hope you have lot of friends and family to comfort you.
