A member asked:
Prostate cancer is around prostate and a little in the rectum. is that treatable? what should we expect? life expectancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treatable: prostate cancer remains very treatable when confined to soft tissue. once it metastasizes to bone, it is painful and harder to control. if not in bone, easily 5-10 years.
