My 70 yr.old husband has been diagnosed with prostate cancer that is in the bones & lymph nodes. We are in total shock since he has had PSA & DRE since he was 20 yrs. old. Six months ago-PSA 4.09- the Dr. said he felt a little hardness that could be cancer, he wanted to wait 6 mo. and check again-well, 6mo. later he ordered the biopsy-took 8 pieces--when the Dr.spoke to me after the biopsy--he said he would be greatly surprised if there was any cancer. the next week we got the news that 4 pieces showed cancer & 4. did not-Dr ordered Hormone Therapy . Still hopeful we thought--good we will get the surgery & radiation & he would be fine. Dr. ordered CT & Bone scans. Another week went by--Stage 4--Gleason 6. Is there any treatment that anyone can give me the would prolong his life.We have been married for 45 yrs. ---I can't think of life without him--please help .Thanks, Linda
