First my condolences. This must be a difficult time for you.
I don't know how old your dad is, but there are some actuarial studies out there that show about half the men by the age of 85 have some form of prostate cancer. I have a great uncle who is in his late 80s and was diagnosed several years ago. He still doing okay (seed implant). Some theorize that it is just part of getting old as most men die with it, not of it. (It is when the diagnosis is at a young age that it is more aggressive.)
However, I know it is scary - my dad had kidney cancer when I was in college. He is alive and well 30+ years later, but even after all this time, I full well remember what it was like. Hang in there fren!
