new to group and a question

Hi,

My dad got diagnosed a couple of weeks ago. He got his treatment plan

this week. The cancer is apparently a 9 on the Gleeson scale but seems

to be contained to the prostate for now. The doctor says it can wait

for treatment until Feb but I am really scared. Is it reasonable to

wait this long?

He has been told he can't have surgery because the prostate is too

badly effected, so the proposed treatment is radiation (via three

pellets surgically impanted) combined with hormone therapy.

Should we be trying to push faster? (I know it is xmas)

very worried
