Mr.Frank, I presume you had some form of Cancer treatment and might be on followup since these years. For some, prostatic cancer grows slowly and spreads to nearby bones of pelvis even after treatment.In this way backache is progressive symptom we should be worried especially when it is involves legs also. So I suggest you see cancer doctor and not GP to assess its impact on your health and help you
