Hi im a 24 year old living away from home (abroad). My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer after christmas this year and some cancer had entered the spine. He has been on hormone treatment since diagnoses which has resulted in his PSA levels decreasing to 7. Since that however it has gone 11, 20 and the most recent reading (today) of 200.
Can anyone shed some light on what the next step is? I know its serious but how serious is it excatly (I hear life expectency figure which arent too promising)?
To be honest I have just started a job and was trying not to let it get me down but i feel like I cant put it off any longer & need to find out as much as possible now. Your help would be much appreciated
