Google Question: "If prostate cancer spreads to a seminal vesicle, is that metastatic"?
Google Answer: "No, when prostate cancer spreads directly into a seminal vesicle, doctors classify it as locally advanced prostate cancer rather than metastatic disease."
Whew! I was beginning to think I was losing my mind.

@toomany Oh, thank goodness. Thank you for getting that clarification. I guess the key is that the seminal vesicles sit just above and close to the prostate, so the spread of the cancer to them is local spread because they are so close. We have both learned something and your mind is put at ease--hooray.
