I have seen men with the radiation seed and you would never know they had it. You need to ask the doctor or go to WebMD.com and enter the subject and you can find things to read about it. But, if you have cancer, it is the "best" one to get. It is very slow growing.

That's a question for his doctors to answer... everyone is different, even the doctors would admit that.
2 :
"Had chemo and radiation, not eligible for anymore". What does that mean? Is his oncologist saying it would have no value? Or is the insurance company refusing to pay for further treatments? These treatments benefit many stage 4 patients by slowing down the spread of cancer, which can contribute to a longer life and increased quality of life. Speak further with the attending oncologist or seek a second opinion.

I've got metastatic cancer from prostate cancer. I've been on hormones over a year and so far the cancer is not growing. The idiot doctor gave me one year and then two years. No one knows how long a person will live. The Doctors caused a lot of depression and I decided they didn't know anymore than I do. Live your life and enjoy the time you have left. Don't think about death, think life. It works for me. Good luck.

It the inevitable thing for most men as they age. It can be controled and/or removed with little complications.
2 :
you should start getting it check every year when you turn 40. I had it done and the Doc told me between 45-60 are the most common. It sucks to have it done I know.
3 :
You should ask this in the mens health category and not the family history category. I am so sorry that your dad is sick but that is a curable disease. He will get well. Good luck! G.G.

My dad was 89 year's old when he was diagnosed to have prostrate cancer. There were 3 options of treatment -- surgery, radioactive, watchful-waiting. My dad choose watchful-waiting. His reason being that he doesn't want to spend our money, and that he's too old to bear so much pain taking a surgery or radioactive treatment. All he wanted was to go back home and enjoy family life. Probably because of his love-filled intention, or could be my intervention of a healing section (Sekhem) with him (without his aware of it). Half a year later, when he went to the hospital for a check-up, his cancer was not found. He died at age 94, of old age. His lung was weak, his heart stopped, and he continued on his next journey peacefully, without any pain all these years. This is a true case. I would say, *love* is the greatest alchemy.

The cause is unknown.
