I am not sure how old he is or what his Gleason score is. These matter, as well as his overall health. If he lives around here, and I am assuming he does, I would recommend he get an opinion from the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. I went there and had a good outcome.

I also read that while rare, prostate cancer can metastasize and if so, bone is common. My grandfather passed from bone cancer. Does this increase my fathers chances? And finally, who is the best urologist and oncologist? I don’t think he wants to go anywhere local. Thank you gentlemen for any and all info!
