I had Gleason score of 8's and 9 in January. I was put on casodex for 2 months and started Abiratarone and had a 6 month lupron injection. My PSA is now normal. Will do a short radiation of 20 sessions this month for the prostate and surrounding bones. I dont believe with gleason 9 they will remove prostate as cancer has already spread. I had no side effects from hormone treatment other than now getting some occassional hot flashes.

What if the cancer has spread to areas where the cancer is very difficult to or just can't be surgically removed?
