My Dad has just been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer which has reached his Lymph nodes/glands but not bones

My Dad has just been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer which has reached his Lymph nodes/glands but not bones.?
He had a blood test that showed a PSA level of 87!! The MRI showed the cancer is in the surrounding Lymph tissue but the bone scan was clear. He has been given hormone treatment and told surgery is not possible and has an appt to see radiotherapy dept. Has anyone got any experience of this especially with such a high PSA result?

A PSA of 87actually isn't a horrible number for someone who has just been diagnosed. Radiation, horemonal treatment, and possibly chemotherapy will definitley help him out. Prostate cancer, especially when caught this early, doesn't have to be a death sentence. It does require a lot of attention, though. Following the treatment schedule is very important. Follow up is crucial. Routine exams, labs, etc. I hope he does well. What he needs right now is your support. Not your worry.
