Hello and thanks for posting,

The doctors may want to find out more by doing the scan. This will tell them if the cancer is anywhere else in the body. If this was the case, then they may suggest other treatments, such as radiotherapy, as well as hormone therapy. Radiotherapy is often used if the cancer has spread to the bones for example.

We have information about treatments for prostate cancer here

I hope that this helps,

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Yours sincerely,

Vanda
