Collen, This is my first time on connect. I had prostate surgery on the March 19, 2019. Urologest removed the prostate and lymph nodes. Biopsy shows cancer in lymph nodes and semen vessels. He wants to give me Hormone shot March 27 and radiation later. Any feedback on if this is the normal plan of action to combat prostate cancer.

Hi @9876 and welcome to Connect. I'd like to introduce you to @fmh1, who also recently joined the community and who has prostate cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes. He is having chemo. Everyone's treatment options are tailored for the person. You may wish to read other related discussions here:
