Hi @tej, welcome. I moved your post about searching for the best treatment options for advanced prostate cancer to this existing discussion:
- Treatment Plans For Advance Prostrate cancer: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/treatment-plans-for-advance-prostrate-cancer/

I did this so you can read previous posts, some that include very helpful videos with more information. This will also help connect you with other members living with advanced prostate cancer.

What treatments are being recommended for your dad? What do they give him to help relieve the pain and constipation?
