That statement is the most unscientific statement I even heard about any cancer in general. Your "doctor" needs to go back to school or at least stop giving their patients weird explanations O_O.
IF one wants to make comparison to a tree than "fruits and seeds" would represent metastasis and not roots - I am still shocked that your "doctor" said that.

Cancer is a systemic disease. I didn't understand it before. Now, I understand, and I hope so.
When I was diagnosed with this nasty thing at stage 4, I prepared myself for death. The doctors shrugged and said it is the end! I and deadman ! At the time, I didn't understand anything and just begged them to remove this nasty thing (to perform surgery), but they told me it was too late; the cancer had spread to my bones and lymph nodes, which was technically impossible to remove. This really upset me; I stared at the wall for almost a month, unable to believe it because I had no symptoms! I was prescribed ADT, had chemotherapy, and am now on Erleada. But the question that worries me is whether I'm being treated correctly.
But reading this forum, I see that Gleason 9 tumors are operated on.
The comparison to a tree is an oversimplification, intended simply to show the patient what it's like. The example I was given about uncontrolled growth isn't related to prostate cancer.
