Prostate cancer in lymph node after years of hormone therapy: Options?
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: Mar 23 10:27am | Replies (6)Comment receiving replies
Diagnosed in 2012. His highest score was 21 i think, i don't recall what Gleason or biopsy said. Urologist got him on hormone therapy and been at 0's for all those years until now. He just had a PSMR scan done. It shows extra activity in the lymphnode right next to it, but no inflammation at this time. And obviously his prostate showing that extra activity as well.

@buttrfli, you're asking great questions to discuss with your dad's cancer team.
- What are the benefits and risks of radiation treatment?
- What side effects might he expect?
- Is continued hormone treatment on option?
- What treatment offers the best quality of life?
Your dad's team will have more information about your dad's overall health status, age and cancer diagnosis to give you answers specific to his situation as well as considering his preferences.
Did he decide to go ahead with radiation?
