Welcome and so sorry it was necessary for you to come here. The answer to your question depends on what type of oncologist he's seeing. (medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, genito-urinary oncologist...) May I ask how he was diagnosed?

Yes, he called me on a Sunday and said he couldn’t walk. I flew down the next morning and took him to ER.. his alk phos level was 2,500.. they did blood work at ct scans of legs, pelvic, chest. He has legions on both hips and top of thigh bones.. white all through the scans.. his bladder and rectum have not been touched. The prostate was very large with a large clump attached to it. He was admitted and had a urologist come in and bone marrow taken. Oncologist came in to go over the ct scans and psa.. he started Dad on hormone therapy to suppress the testosterone. He now meets with the oncologist team of radiation, urology and oncology.
