The doctor laid it out, the consults probably won’t hold much of a surprise. The prostate is enlarged making it a poor candidate for radiation. Biopsy confirmed the cancer, so what to do? His answer is to observe, retest and watch. He’s too young for that. His father lived into his mid 80s, his mother is alive and well in her early 90s. He wants to die in his 60s? His brother may not live to see 60. At 56 he has stage 4 prostate cancer that has spread to his bones and lymph nodes. What is this with the waiting? I don’t get it. He has some serious denial going on.
They are doing hormonal treatment for my father’s prostate cancer. He had radiation and chemo for the esophageal area last month.
Are they not suggesting the radiation seeds to begin with?
