My Dad has just been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer which has reached his Lymph nodes/glands but not bones.?
He had a blood test that showed a PSA level of 87!! The MRI showed the cancer is in the surrounding Lymph tissue but the bone scan was clear. He has been given hormone treatment and told surgery is not possible and has an appt to see radiotherapy dept. Has anyone got any experience of this especially with such a high PSA result?

Survival rates once prostate cancer has spread to lymph nodes and bones?
My husband (who is 45 years old) was diagnosed in Oct of 06′. Gleason 8 (4+4), Stage D. He is on Casodex and Eligard, and his PSA level is now 0.4. His doctors claim he can stay on these meds for many years.
HIs cancer has already spread to his spine, hip, left femur, and lymph nodes in his abdomen.
Once prostate cancer has spread to the bones and lymph nodes how long is life expectancy?
My father in law has had prostate cancer for 7 years and it has moved to the spine. He now has 12 tumors in the spine and it has spread to the lymph nodes. His psa was 60 last month and today it was 84. How bad is this and how long is the life expectancy after the cancer is in the lymph nodes?
Chemotherapy is no longer working (hasn’t worked for months) and all other treatments have failed. Now he is going to be given just pain meds. He is 74 and he has diabetes.
Its in the lower lymph nodes only right now.
