Sam, their are others here who are in the same boat as your dad. TC-LasVegas is one who didn't get the expected results following surgery. I believe they put him at a stage 3, maybe 4, and he had been doing alot of research regarding options. I haven't seen him around here lately, but will send him an email to see if he has anything that may be of help. My father was diagnosised at the age of 49 with stage 4 PCa. Although, he didn't survive, (it was 15 years ago), he did have great success with his treatments, until the end. He started with hormones, and later added radiation. At that time, we were told that Chemo didn't do anything for PCa, but it did for him. It took his PSA from over 100 to 2.6. Many, many advances have since been made. MD Anderson in Houston is a great place to go. Good luck to you. Courtney
