Just found prostate cancer. Does it normally go to the bones?

Hi @ltdan23, that is quite a shock to be diagnosed with prostate cancer and to also hear that it may have already spread to your bones.
You asked about what to expect and recovery. You might be interested in the tips shared in this related discussion:

Do you live alone or will there be someone with you as you recover? Does someone go with you to your appointments to help be that second set of ears? It's a lot to take in.

Colleen , such great advise ! Because I was my fathers caregiver when he had PC 25 years ago , I almost was "frozen in time" when I was told I had prostate Cancer. I get so much anxiety even talking about it , SO , my devoted wife comes to all appointments with me know . The Dr's say I have some sort of PSD from watching my father pass away from it 25 years ago. So its real important for another set of eyes and ears to come to appointments , to ask questions . Thanks for your help ! James
