(The previous article was written on July 8).
The treatments my father was cared with were:
1 Hormone therapy(about for 3 years per 3 months)
2 Radiation therapy (36 times continuously on weekdays)
3 Medication (Bicalutamide)
4 Doctor’s interview
The conditions and age of my father has already been too late to take surgical operations. The “Grade” of his cancer was 3 to 4 (5 is worst).
Hormone therapy was done via injections of “Leuprolelin.” The period of the therapy was three years.
The medication, it was said, was to be done for the patients evolving the deseas.
As I heard how my father would have been treated. I realized that his conditions and the “Stage” were worse than I had expected.
