Writing for my husband who was Just diagnosed and can't do for himself. Age 89 and prostate cancer has spread. Want information on quality of life ahead, what to expect and how to helpour sons to deal with their own life and health of their prostate in future.

This diagnosis brings up important concerns about both immediate care and family health awareness. Many people in this community have found that open conversations with family members about prostate health can be valuable, as genetic factors can play a role in prostate cancer risk. Support groups and resources specifically for families dealing with prostate cancer can provide helpful guidance on navigating these discussions and managing the emotional aspects together.

Margaret...Sorry to hear this for you and your husband. Much depends on the extent of the spread. Find the best folks you can travel to. Fancy tools and smart, experienced physicians make a difference. Even if the spread is extensive, there are treatments that can shut down progression.
