Stage 4 Prostate Cancer
Any encouraging stories from any one who knows anyone or had Stage 4 prostate cancer?
Yes, a man I know with stage 4 prostate cancer had is prostate removed and underwent chemo therapy. The first year was real rough for him. While he did have some side affects from the chemo, he is still alive and his health is good. He was diagnosed & treated 6 years ago.
here are some web sites that have lots of information about the "grading" systems of prostate cancer and what they mean.

My dad had prostate cancer but I don’t know which stage. I don’t think he has it anymore but now he has skin cancer.

Nothing good to say about stage 4 prostate cancer. That means it has probably spread and surgery will only make it worse. Once it spreads the Doctors have no way of knowing where it will go. I’m presently being treated with hormones. Very bad side effects and hormones are temporary as the cancer becomes immune to the treatment. The experience of the Doctor makes a lot of difference. Good luck.
