I was just treated for prostate cancer surgery last year. My grades were far less than their husbands. Here is an excellent resource and forum for questions. http://www.prostatecancerfoundation.org
To evaluate side effects and long-term use of these drugs. My concern is that the cancer has not disappeared is still there and the PSA is masked only by drugs. Any delay in the removal of cancer is a risk. At the age of her husband, he can be a good candidate for surgery. It is the route. Biopsy not say that cancer is present, but to what extent it has spread. Doctors do not know that until the surgery. Treatment decisions are difficult and very personal. God be with you and your husband.
