Treatments/statistics/sources with prostate cancer that has spread to lymph nodes?

A friend was diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to his lymph nodes only (has not spread to any other organs or bones). All I can find are sources that explain staging and treatments, but the more aggressive treatments (surgery/radiation) seem to be only for localized or low-grade cancer.

Grandpa's prostate cancer spread to his hips and back, but they still call it prostate cancer. Isn't it bone?

In other words, they removed his prostate and now it spread to his bones. Why isn’t it called bone cancer instead of prostate cancer? Can anyone give me some details on this cancer he has? Thanks! And God Bless!… Continue reading

Turns out she has a level 1 tumor in her breast and that the lesions in her bones are also breast cancer. For some reason, the doctors… Continue reading

Everything works fine down there but… Continue reading
