I am sorry to hear about your father's diagnosis. Prostate Cancer is a slow growing form of cancer, it can take several years for the cancer to grow within the body before any symptoms appear. That is why most men do not know they have Prostate Cancer until their Doctor orders tests to confirm a diagnosis. Once cancer is confirmed, if it is caught in the early stages it can be treated with a high likelihood of a cure. Only your father's Doctor can answer the question about how serious the cancer is and if it has spread. He might recommend diagnostic tests like an MRI, a CT Scan, or a Bone Scan to help in determining if the cancer has spread. All treatments for Prostate Cancer have side-effects; some take time to heal, other side-effects never heal. Also, there is a chance that the primary treatment doesn't work and additional treatment becomes necessary if the cancer comes back. The best thing you can do for your father right now is to be supportive, learn as much as you can about this disease, and try not to worry too much. Most men diagnosed with Prostate Cancer go on to live healthy normal lives for many years after diagnosis and treatment.
