Explains why there were limited options for someone with advanced prostate cancer.

 



Well at the initial stage of course I had no real, there were no treatment options for someone with advanced prostate cancer at that sort of stage. It is essentially, or as far as I was aware at the time, I should say it was hormone treatment or nothing. There was no operation you can do, which is you know, I think there was a complete consensus on that, as far as I'm aware, for someone whose cancer has spread beyond the prostate. I think the situation would've been, I know it would've been far, far more difficult if it hadn't spread beyond the prostate, it would've also been better but the decision process would've been, knowing what I now know, very, very difficult and I had a friend the other day who was diagnosed with just that and I really didn't know what to say to him.
