Chemo may not be appropriate in these circumstances. Hormone treatment is probably the best bet, easy with injections or tablets , people can survive for years on HT.

I had some of the worst scores you can think of nearly six years ago ( check my profile ), how old is your relative and do they have any underlying conditions? Chemo or the new medication is now standard treatment plus radiotherapy and hormone therapy. Did anyone go with your relative when they were told ? I ask this as two sets of ears hear more of what is being said.
Hi he is 64, yes his wife did. Told it has spread but needs a scan to see if it has which makes no sense. Gleason score 9 but no space for bone scan until July which is worrying
