How long does it take for prostate cancer to go from stage 2 to stage 3?


Sometimes it never does. Typically the older you are (60′s, 70′s), the less aggressive Prostate cancer is. For those who advance, the time frame between stages varies soooo much. It depends on if the patient is faithful with all follow ups, post diagnosis. Any unusual symptoms should always be reported to your oncologist, no matter how slight the symptom may be. Always try to stay a step ahead and be proactive in your care. Bloodwork, scans, etc should never be missed.
