74 year old father, grandfather, and father-n-law was diagnosed in 1996 with prostate cancer. Lupron therapy since. Bone scan this week revealed metastatic prostate cancer in the pelvis area and several up the spine. He is more than likely not going to seek treatment at this point. What can our family expect?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor, thanks for the query. Metastases to bones are very bad sign, and it can be treated, but it can't be cured almost never. So at this point treatment is palliative, but prognosis is very unpredictable. It is most important to treat pain and slow cancer progression.  Wish you good health. Regards
