Metastasized vs Advanced

Hi Harry300a5bc36 , no there isn’t a difference although locally advanced means that it has only spread to local lymph and/or surrounding tissue.

Thank You  

There’s no such thing as a stupid question, so ask away.

Having Mets (Metastasis) is advanced as David’s already said.

Thank You..

I'll start using "mets".  I always misspell the full. 

So is there hope for recovery if it has spread to the bones?

This is what I fear the most...

Hello Harry (Harry300a5bc36) 

The answer to your question is NO. prostate cancer once it gets into the bones can't be cured BUT it can be controlled. 

However you don't have a diagnosis yet so think on the positive side.

I don't use "mets" or "metastasis" - I use "walkabout" - it's easier to spell!!

Best wishes - Brian

Thank You
