Is Undergoing Harmone Therapy And Radiation Safe To Treat Prostate Cancer?

My husband just found his prostate cancer has now moved to the lymph nodes (he had his prostate removed last year). We will be doing hormone therapy and will start radiation in 4 months.I am wondering what are the risks that the cancer will spread to other areas

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is very hard and difficult to say anything about the prognosis of malignancy it may not be the cause as we are thinking and every thing would be fine and some time very rapid metastasis could take place, but better to hope for the good, hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
