Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Prostate cancer is an aggressive tumor and may progress to advanced stage with distant spread. Once the tumor has breached the prostate and spread to distant parts, there is no point in dining surgery and the only options are chemo and radiation. In advanced disease with distant spread, prognosis is very bad. Consult a urologist and he will direct you accordingly.
Wishing you good health. Thanks
