Any time you deal with cancer, you always be concerned, make sure he gets his check ups. We pray it won't come back, but don't think you can be sure or to careful.Good luck to your family, and may God Bless You.

My job is testing for these things. What usually happens when someone is diagnosed is prostate CA they have testing done by a dr. office. usually a CAT scan and depending on their PSA(blood level of cancer) they have a bone scan. If these tests are normal there is a low risk of the cancer going to his bones. The higher the psa the more likely is has gone to other areas. Some people after they have their prostate removed will have chemo and or radiation treatment and sometimes hormone treatments to make sure is doesn't spread. My dad had prostate cancer and had his prostate removed 13 years ago and that was his only treatment and he never had it come back. If you are a son of someone with a history of prostate ca is is recommended that you get seen for a checkup and a psa test at the age of 40 because this can be hereditery. The biggest thing to remember nothing is set in stone just because psa is high or some testing comes bag in way that shows that there is reaccurence doesn't mean it can't be treated. Hope this helps

Hate to say this but, yeah. My brother also had prostate cancer and was removed and it showed up 1 year later in his rib.
