Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I read the messages posted here, often.... But I am needing some guidness with my husbands emotional rollercoaster..First the pain comes ( he takes LORATAB) for pain which does not take all the pain away...then comes the tears (he is on daily casadex)and 4 month HT injection(Eligard)last gotten was in July..psa level was 5.6 in March (coming down from 274 and in July it is 6.8..Went to a cancer doctor for a first visit there since seeing uroligist since March..He was very rude when husband asked for script for pain pills..No explanation for the anger..so now husband is thinking of not returning to cancer center... I have suggested maybe its time to try something else for pain?? is there?? I have read that radiation usually does not work on someone with lots of mets.(spot on lower spin, pelvic,etc) he says his pain is in his legs....The cancer doctor is trying to push that husbands pain in legs is from a prior injury to back in 1995..a new bone scan is being done next month..should we wait for those results before pushing for something else??? I just hope someone in this group can give me suggestions...thank you for your time it took to read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
