Today my husband and I went to his dr. Got bad news his cancer is spreading already had lots and of bone Mets, more lymp nodes and spot on liver is growing so he has decided to go off all hormone therapy and let the chips fall where they may.😢. They gave him the option of chemo now but he say no and they don’t think he is well enough. He has lost 24 lbs in 2 1/2 months so now he weighs 144 lbs. It has been almost 2 years since diagnosis. I try to support what he wants to do but it is hard. Thanks for listening😢😢

Thinking about you. It’s going to be a bumpy ride for a while. Do you have family friends around?
