My husband has the same type of cancer like his father, but I think his strength is more advanced than his father. My husband is 63 years. He is taking the same treatments your dad, but also a bone strengthener intravenously once every four weeks. The bone strengthener called Zometa, and this treatment is about 30 minutes time. He also had 5 radiation treatments in the spine which contributed greatly to pain control. Once the cancer has spread beyond prostate can not be cured, but often can be controlled from several years ago. It seems my husband has many more cancer in the bones of your father does, and we are hopeful that you will have at least a couple of years. The most important thing that your dad is not to break a bone – the bone cancer that makes very fragile. In addition to the intravenous bone reinforcing my husband takes calcium and vitamin D every day – prescribed by the cancer specialist. Take pain medicines too strong as well. The day will come when the hormone treatments stop working. When that happens there is some research suggesting that some chemotherapy drugs may give the person a few months of life. The overall life expectancy at this stage tends to be up to three years, but each person is different and responds differently to treatment. Affected the health of his father, otherwise his strength in the fight against this, their attitude and their will to live. Be very strong and take care of themselves. You need take care of you in order to help. I've learned that. It seems you are getting good care. Ask about the need for reinforcing bone. In addition, good nutrition figthing is very important in cancer. Make sure you eat a healthy diet, especially low-fat. Try to maintain a positive outlook, and now is the time to live each day as if it is the last. Life becomes precious when we realize that is on a timer. Take care and God bless.
