I just want to thank everyone who have connected with me and answered concerns about my hubby. Our battle is worse than we thought; therefore, I don’t want to post doom and gloom. Everyone has their own battle and you all are so brave. Thanks to all. Best on your journeys.

This will be my last post.

Awwww Madbeach, so very sorry for your tough journey.I remember not long ago when you felt bullied and many of us came to comfort you. This is an insidious disease. It is relentless. Some Men carry on longer than you would expect without the Pharma Barrage. Do not blame the HBO decision. My belief that had nothing/little to do with your Husbands rapid PCa expansion. I remeber MadBeach is for Madeira Beach. We are just below you in St Pete. Have you been with Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa? They are World Class in PCa care. This should not be handled locally. Maybe a last minute Trial could change the direction?

All my best to you and your Hubby,

Mike & Barb

Madbeach,

I'm so sorry to read your post. Be strong when you need to and accept help when offered.

Family, friends and clergy can be helpful but not always and not at certain times.

Take care of yourself. You need to be there for him. The love that you two share is evident in your post.

My prayers for you--

Currumpaw

My husband enters hospice tomorrow. I still read this forum and feel supported. Sometimes we get bad news and want to retreat and that's OK. Just know there are many kind souls here who will support you if and when you need a shoulder.

Hello dear friend, I lost my husband 6 years ago this month. I put aside this forum afterwards, but for some strange reason I felt compelled to open it up tonight, after all of this time. It was/is bittersweet as I recognize many of the gentlemen's names from 6 years back. Regardless of their length of time on here, or how far back they received their diagnosis, it still is a kindness like none other with these husbands and wives. I'm so happy to read that you have found solace in reading this forum, and I hope you continue to do so. I will be in sincere prayer, especially tomorrow as your sweet husband begins hospice. You are so special. That is the woman that your husband fell in love with and married. Blessings for days ahead to remember the love you have for each other.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much. Such a beautiful, heartfelt response. We appreciate your prayers. Our life seems like a dream but unfortunately it's very real. Sadly you know this all too well. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for caring. God bless you 🙏

Dear sdnb,

Your dear husband would have been 69 years old. Passed away at 63 years old, too soon like my Dad who passed away at 66 years old. You never forget the date that they passed and you also think of them every day. I really get angry and frustrated at myself for not asking all of the questions I should of asked him and that I think of now. He like your husband was a wonderful man. Hopefully they met upstairs and are laughing at us struggling here on earth. Thank you for posting with us and may God keep you in his/her arms....

I am truly sorry to hear this. I pray that you both have the strength the bear what sounds like very tough times ahead. As a wife of someone going through this difficult illness, I read all the posts, the good ones, the painful ones and the sad ones. Even if I cannot answer a question or do anything constructive to help, I can at least say a prayer for everybody. I feel a lot of gratitude for the forum here and all the members who spare the time to write. I do understand though that you might not wish to live through serious stuff and then also re-live it when writing about it. Take care of yourselves and sending you virtual hugs. 🙏
