Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Treatment of prostate cancer depends on type and grade. Gleson score is very important in treatment. If score is less than 7 then it has good prognosis. If score is more than 7 it has bad prognosis. Treatment also varies depending on score. In general chemotherapy and radiotherapy is the treatment of choice for high grade tumour. Surgery is hrlpful in early stage.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
