    If you had surgery, you may ask how can you have prostate cancer if your prostate gland was taken out. This recurrence may have happened because some of the prostate cancer cells moved outside your prostate gland before it was taken out. These cells may not have been found because they were too small or there were not enough of them to be found. These cells then started to grow in the area where the prostate gland used to be or in another part of your body. When prostate cancer cells spread to other parts of the body it is called metastasis.

    I agree, Mel! Thank God it was not cancer. Glad to hear your husband is doing well in spike of his condition. :-)

    You mean metastasized,  I would expect some chemotherapy....

    thats why  after surgery  its always   safe bet to continue with  Psa blood test   regulary   too see if  your  PSA  is raising again  if so its  a sign of   prostrate cancer reoccuring .     I know  as I had the surgery 10 yrs ago
