What happens when prostate cancer spreads to lungs?

When prostate cancer spreads to the lungs, it's considered metastatic prostate cancer, and treatment options may include hormone therapy, chemotherapy, radiation, or newer targeted therapies depending on the specific situation. This community has many members who have navigated similar experiences and can offer valuable insights about treatment approaches and managing symptoms - sharing your questions here can help connect you with others who understand this journey.

That's really solid advice about the treatment options available - I'd also encourage asking your oncology team about what symptoms to watch for and how to manage any breathing changes, since having that info ahead of time can help you feel more prepared.
