My Dad has prostate cancer, that said it was at a stage 8 and he has been taking hormone shots for several months and now they say its at level 0. In may they want to start radiation. Will this get rid of the cancer or will it come back? The doctors say it will get rid of it but it seems they always tell people that no matter what. What is the survival rate?

There is no such thing as a stage 8 and it is impossible to go to a stage 0. Doctors do not lie to their patients.

Doctors do lie, so does everyone else, sorry. Gleason grade may have been 8, now 0. Radiation may be next step, since they know the potential is still there. It may come back, it may not. The average person dies with 3 cancers, so kick one as hard as possible. Chances are they are correct, since it has responded well. Survival rate = good.
