my father in law had a heart transplant  4 years ago...now his test results came back saying he has prostate cancer , and has tripled in 6 months. She said hes already on a chemo med once a week now...what do you think there next step options are? and how can I prepare them? Thank you for your time
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Since he is heart transplant patient, surgery is contraindicated in his case for prostate cancer. So chemotherapy is the only option he is having. Prostate cancer is having very good prognosis, and it responds to chemotherapy well. So standard, timely chemotherapy will improve his outcome. Radiotherapy is also an option. But it is indicated only when chemotherapy is not responding. So better to consult oncologist and discuss all these. I prefer chemotherapy for him.
