Good Morning Delboy73
Welcome to the Macmillan Online Prostate Community, although I am so sorry to find you here.
The Community is made up entirely of none professionals as it's a peer to peer support platform so sadly you aren't going to get an answer from a professional here.
Steve Grundo above is correct though. If the cancer stays within the gland it's not going to kill you, it's when it leaves the gland and goes "walkabout" and messes with your other vital organs that problems happen.
I do hope that helps, if you want to expand on your question, we will see what we can do for you.
Best wishes - Brian.
