It can spread to any part of the body. Generally goes to the bones of which is not a good thing. There is no treatment for that. It feeds off of testosterone, to slow it down they give you female hormone. Really messes you up.

      I am on tamsulosin also. Will get lasered this summer however. My new pee doc doesn’t like tamsulosin. Wants me off it. Personally I don’t think it is working very well. Was also on dutasteride but the side effects sucked.

        Father in law, 30 years ago, had prostate cancer. By the time they found it, it had spread everywhere. Don’t have to say more. They gave him a morphine pump.

            Mine was found early and had not spread. Had a bone scan back then. The new scan they have has a carrier that only detects prostate cancer any where in your body. $20,000.
            Mine was found during yearly physical blood test. Be sure to get a PSA test at least once a year.

              A friend of mine had prostrate cancer, it was treated with surgery, spread to his back and it eventually did him in.

              azgreg Sucks getting old. I went into an antique store the other day and they wouldn't let me leave.

              Slapped a price tag on your forehead, did they?

                  PA-PLAYA Been on Lisinopril for several years, but added Tamsulosin and Atorvastatin back last summer.

                  Atorvastatin here too. Read a lot of bad things about statins but I've had no issues. I take Losartin for BP.

                    jsippy73 My PSA just took a little jump, threatening me with Lupron. YIkes, know someone who went through that and said never again. Going to do another PSA test in a month. If still up,

                    What's up? My PSA is a little over 4 and my urologist isn't worried. He feels that's just where it wants to hang out. I've had a urine test for Prostate cancer and an MRI and both came back negative. I'm a little concerned he's not concerned enough.

                        There's two kinds of prostate cancer, one grows slowly and the other grows quickly. I have a friend (70) with the slow growing kind and they're not treating it. They'rejust watching it. Say he'll die of old age before it gets him.

                          garyt1957 I'm a little concerned he's not concerned enough.

                          You and your insurance company are paying him. Tell him to be more concerned.😉

                            A PSA OF 4 doesn't mean you have cancer, but you could. Mine has been slowly rising over 15 years then went from 2.8 to 4.3, that is concerning. Could just be an outlier. I'll know on my next test. In the mean time going to order the cancer killer ivermectin. If it goes to the bones there is not much that can be done. Thing is that's the first place it goes to.

                              My younger brother has been dealing with it for the past year or so. Said he had stage 4. Doing fine now but the treatments screwed up his bladder now so he’s dealing with that.

                                Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer spread to lymph node. Prostate removed, 13 weeks of radiation, two years of hormone therapy. 1/2 way done

                                And two years of Zytiga, oral med

                                Surgery 12/23. Radiation 1/24-3/24.
                                Hormone treatment began 1/24 also and will run for two years

                                  Costco dropped the "Very berry Sundae". It's now a "Strawberry Sundae". Wife brought me one home last night and I got very sick after. She told me just now they changed the name and it isn't yogurt anymore. Had very little fruit where it used to be loaded.

                                  Not fan of Costco and the one redeeming quality is gone.

                                  Times are tough.
