Prostate Cancer
Stage I .. a small tumor in the prostate
Stage II .. the cancer has spread throughout the prostate
Stage III … the cancer has spread to outside the prostate
Stage IV .. the cancer has metastasized to other parts of the body
There is no stage V (5) .. IV (4) is as bad as it gets
BUT life expectancy depends on where it has metastasized too.
A friend of mine has ”lived with this” (Stage IV) for 3 years now.
He has regular Chemo.
He cannot be ”cured” and knows he has maybe another 1 or 2 years.
6 months.
I am very sorry to hear about your Grandpa, unfortunately this means he has late stage cancer which will have spread to other parts of his body. His oncologist will have a treatment plan for him but this may be just pain relief at this stage, to keep him comfortable.
