Update/Dad - Prostate Cancer

[Reese777]

Hi Everyone -

Feeling blue today.

Dad's latest PSA test came back at 581.65. I went to see him at the nursing home and he did not know me at all. Nurse at the center pulled my Mom aside and said that they are all pretty convinced his state of mind is because of the cancer going to his brain.

I know what is inevitably going to happen, but it's all so surreal!

(To top all that off, I decided to run on the treadmill to burn off some fat and stress, and the darn thing quit in the middle of my run....I swear I feel lately that I can't win no matter what I do!)

I am so sorry to hear that about your dad-I have been thinking about you and wondering how you were doing. I am glad you posted to let us know you are okay. Just do me a favor and ask the nurses at the home if they have checked a calcium level on your dad? Patients with progressive disease can elevate their calcium making the patient seem out of it and disoriented. It could be brain mets but just check out that one lab value-it can make a difference.Hang in there!!
