    Sorry to read about your dad.

    I have no medical training but lost my hubby to this cancer his levels were very high to start with when diagnosed.Tests showed it had spread to his ribs.So I am thinking spread to your dads spine?.

    I do hope you get some good news when you finally get details.

    Hugs & best wishes

    Try not to google I have found it doesnt help me with my bladder cancer.

    My hubby passed 17 yrs ago things have changed since then I would think.

    He was having injections in his tummy brought his psa level down a lot.

    All I can say is try & stay strong talk to him if he wants to talk.

    Write down all the questions you or dad need to ask when you go for results.

    Best of luck & big hug to both you & dad x
