How serious is stage 3 prostate cancer in a 61yr old male and is chemo effective? what does stage three mean? survival? spreading? please advise.

Prostate CA staging: Stage III means the cancer has spread out of the capsule or into the seminal vesicles, the glands that sit right on top of the prostate. Treatment would consist of anti androgen therapy, a shot, and radiation. There is always the chance the cancer could spread so a bone scan and CT is done to check and to also use as a baseline for the future.
