Prostate Cancer Therapy

My Husband has Metastatic Prostate Cancer with mets to the Bone.Its all throughout his spine/pelvis/shoulders?
breast bone.He currently on a clinical trial/chemotherapy and strong pain meds to help with pain…I guess once it spreads to the bones it’s very painful…

what can i do to help him cope with the pain.. he has a very poor appetite.. has lost much weight and has labored breathing..

is there anyone out there who has a loved one go thru the same situation as my husband. what to do what to do.. I am so so sad..

I’m so sorry.. Make sure he takes his pain meds on time, if they aren’t helping ease the pain, then call his oncologist and get something stronger, or more pain meds, for him. Have different types of food available for him. His appetite will be poor while on chemo. I know it bothers you to see him not eating, but don’t make a big deal of it. Poor appetites go with the treatment. Stick by his side, encourage him, support him. Hope he begins to feel better, and I hope you will too.

My insurance will not pay for this. They will pay for regular radiation treatments claiming they do not think Proton Beam is superior to regular external radiation treatments.

there is also microwave bombardment to the prostate also.
