Ask a doctmy husband was told in dec. that he had prostrate cancer then in feb. we were told that it was the aggressive type and he would hor for free?

U mean refractory?: There r many factors to consider here. It sounds as of u mean to say that he was told that the prostate cancer is hormone refractory? This means that the hormone blocking agents they have tried, which block testosterones ability to feed the prostate cancer, are not effective and his psa continues to rise. Ask urology/medonc maximizing anti androgen and androgen blockers.Ctx&provenge are next line.
