My dad was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in November. Gleason score of 10 and PSA of 9. He had surgery, but it had already spread to the lymph nodes in the groin area. he also had a tumor in his urethra, but the bladder was clean. They could not do the prostatectomy. He has been recieving Lupron shots since November PSA in January was 7. Last week they found a tumor in his bladder. he is having surgery next Thursday to scrape down the tumor to provide him some comfort with voiding. I would like him to have a bone scan. His bones were clean in November also, or should he have an MRI instead?
Is there anything else that they can do for him, it seams to be a very aggressive cancer with scores that high. Any idea on how long he can live if it is very aggresive?
