Hi Bosswife,

Welcome and thanks for telling us about your dad. As someone who has had and recovered from prostate cancer, I can well understand your need for information

As the cancer has allready spread into the bones, they will probably not be able to cure your dad. But these days with modern treatments, It can be managed often for several years depending on how far the cancer has spread and if its an agressive cancer or not. Hormone therapy worked very well for me and brought my psa down from 70 to 3.18 even before I started radiotherapy.

I understand the shock you must all be feeling but I must just mention, most cancer patients like to try and keep some normality to their lives otherwise they feel cancer has taken over.

I do feel for you as a family as I know the rollercoaster ride of emotions that cancer brings. I wish you and you family all the best and am sending kind thoughts your way. Please keep us updated, Brian
