Hi,
Sorry to hear about your condition. I can not understand the exact site of blockage. Anyway, stenting to relieve the blockage is another possibility. This can better be suggested by your urologist. Metastatic prostate cancer can be treated by androgen deprivation therapy by hormone . Consult your oncologist for better guidance.
