Praying for my dad

[Etoile3]

Hi everyone, today my dad diagnosed with prostate cancer on December 2019, with gleason 9, started branchytherapy. Recently his PSA was 0.2 no Mets, Unfortunately I can’t be with him due to the closed borderUSA- Canada. I am anxious and I want to share this feeling with you. I will really appreciate if you keep him in your prayers and any suggestions, recommandations ..... I know everybody is different and reacts differently but really I love your ideas,opinions,expériences which help me to have a better idea in order to help my dad as much as I can. By the end of July he will have EBRT and continue with Eligard. Thanks for your Time. Respectfully Julieta

He is getting the best treatment, with evidence of the highest cure rates. Urinary difficulties may sometimes be a problem later. Not a bad idea to get a prescription for Flomax in advance, so he can take it (and an NSAID) at the first sign.

Thank you. It’s really appreciated.

[Etoile3 in reply to Tall_Allen]

The doctor prescribed antibiotics, Tylenol and flomax. Yes he has urinary difficulty. Is it normal to have blood in his urine...???

[Tall_Allen in reply to Etoile3]

Yes. It should clear up eventually. Only worrisome if there is a lot of blood.

Thanks again
