Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He has prostate cancer. Treatment depends on Gleason score and spread of cancer. He has surgery in past. Now you should check his PSA level . If it remains in normal range then no need to worry. If his PSA level is high then you should consult your oncologist.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
