Once prostate cancer has spread to the bones and lymph nodes how long is life expectancy?

My father in law has had prostate cancer for 7 years and it has moved to the spine. He now has 12 tumors in the spine and it has spread to the lymph nodes. His psa was 60 last month and today it was 84. How bad is this and how long is the life expectancy after the cancer is in the lymph nodes?

Once prostate cancer has spread to the bones and lymph nodes how long is life expectancy?
Life expectancy is very short; only a couple of months. My brother died of Lymphoma last year. I'm so sorry about your FIL. Let him know how much you love and appreciate him now. But be careful to make it seem like he has a death sentence hanging over his head, unless he has accepted his impending fate. My brother wouldn't accept that he was terminally ill until he took his last breath. He became very upset if we behaved like he was a dying man. Take care.
Reply:3 months
Reply:Typically mortality is 100% at this point and life expectancy is very limited (3 months is a fair guess). However I have personally seen people battle cancer and live way past there expected life. One women I had in residency had massive brain tumors and we told her she had six months...that was eight years ago in September. Best of luck to you and your family. mcc_md@yahoo.com for more info/questions.
Reply:This is not good. Cancer that has spread like that does not have a very long life expectancy - about 3 months. I wish your father-in-law well.
Reply:im sorry to hear about your father inlaw . my dad past away from prostate cancer ,after it spread to his bones he lived for about nine months i not saying that is the expectancy level for you inlaw but back then they did not have the medical advances like they have now so he might live longer . the pain that my fathe whent through made me happy that he did not suffer long i pray for a break through for this aggressive form of cancer because if it passes from one generatuion to the next your husband and i might be next in line so lets all hope for a medical miricle
Reply:I'm so sorry for you. I'm afraid he's not got to long to live. Make his last days happy, spend some time with him, tell him you love him if you are on good terms with him. He'll appreciate it I'll bet.
Reply:2-3 months isn't too far off. Metastisizing to the lymph nodes usually indicates that it's "end stage" cancer and that's the last stop. The lymph nodes capture and destroy viruses and bacteria so without them, the body loses its ability to fight off infection. At this point, it is a Comfort One situation in which death is imminent and he should be allowed to live the remainder of his life with dignity and with little discomfort, and to pass with as much dignity as possible.

Research on cancer and the genetic code looks like it may at long last produce real breakthroughs

Reply:I have always believed that the mainstream medical industry is not interested in finding a cure for cancer because it makes too much profit with its present barbarous methods.


Eventually, I came across a detailed report which agreed with my findings, and I have included it in my web page at





http://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancer...





By reading this report, you will also convince yourself that it is best to ignore the mainstream cancer industry, and seek alternative cures. Also you should bear in mind that the medical industry will do anything to protect its profitable position, including disparaging alternative healers or even creating bogus court cases.





I believe that cancer is a whole body thing, which in 80 percent of cases manifests itself by producing symptoms in the weaker parts of the body, and therefore appearing localised. It is this treatment of symptoms instead of cause which creates the profitable, yet non-successful approach of mainstream medicine.





Some cures are listed on the web page too.





It is therefore obvious that a holistic approach is required, based on cleansing, diet, exercise and debugging.





CLEANSING


The best way of cleansing is to fast.

but if a patient is too weak for that, or does not fancy the idea, then alternative cleanses are available.

DIET,


The best diet is vegetarian, avoiding all processed, frozen or micro-waved foods and drinks, and based on fresh fruit, fresh vegetables - preferably organic, nuts and seeds. Drinks should be clean water or freshly squeezed orange juice.





Many researchers promote the benefits of vitamin B17 as a healer. this can be found in the following foods:


Apple seeds, alfalfa sprouts, apricot kernels, bamboo shoots, barley, beet tops, bitter almond, blackberries, boysenberries, brewer’s yeast, brown rice, buckwheat, cashews, cherry kernels, cranberries, currants, fava beans, flax seeds, garbanzo beans, gooseberries, huckleberries, lentils, lima beans, linseed meat, loganberries, macadamia nuts, millet, millet seed, peach kernels, pecans, plum kernels, quince, raspberries, sorghum cane syrup, spinach, sprouts (alfalfa, lentil, mung bean, buckwheat, garbanzo), strawberries, walnuts, watercress, yams.





A commercial preparation of B17 is available called Laetrile.





EXERCISE


Exercise should be sufficient to create a sweat, but not sufficient to make you gasp for breath or feel over-tired. About one hours exercise every day is best.





DEBUGGING


There are various theories about how bugs create cancer.





Hulda Clark suggests that parasites are the cause, and that they can be disposed of by using a zapper.





Zappers are available from
