Prostate cancer

My husband had surgery last February and had 6 weeks radiotherapy 3 months ago. The cancer had spread into lymph nodes but fortunately nowhere else, is this what’s referred to as locally advanced prostate cancer? He will get his first PSA result after treatment tomorrow, we are both very anxious.

  • Hello Harvie and welcome, I am not a nurse, but was diagnosed 2 years ago with locally advanced prostate cancer as my PCa had spread to my iliac/lymph nodes which are regional lymph nodes in the pelvic region. your diagnosis would suggest the same LAPc. I am sorry the RT was unable to contain the cancer but i wish you well for tomorrow and with future treatment, take care.
