Ok here it goes...my dad was diagnosed on Dec. 30 w/ prostate cancer and im not quite sure what to expect from anything and i dont really know much except that its in the early stages, its on both sides of his prostate, he's only doing radiation no chemo and he said something about his number being 6? Can someone help me understand more about this and maybe what questions to ask him?  He is not the easiest person to talk to, so i dont really know what to say and what to ask.  Thanks for any info.

Welcome to the board, Jamie!!


I can really identify with you, My dad had prostate cancer, so it's something that has greatly affected me in a personal way. We just learned last month that a dear friend of ours was diagnosed with prostate
