Greetings! Has it been determined if your grandfather actually has prostate cancer? Has he had any PET scans or biopsies? I was diagnosed in January at age 54 with mestastic prostate cancer that had spread to my lymph nodes and my hip. My PSA at the time was 359. I take abiraterone and prednisone every day. I’ve had three Lupron shots and my PSA is now .24
I have had no noticeable side effects from any of my treatments, except for decreased libido and testicle shrinkage. Oh joy! (I happily accept these side effects that are allowing me to live a very awesome life.). My father currently has a PSA of about 11 but has not been confirmed as having prostate cancer. His doctor is going to implant a gold seed in his prostate and administer radiation therapy. That might be an option for your grandfather.
