What is stage 3 prostate cancer?
My father's prostate biopsy results came in, and they said it's stage 3 prostate cancer. We are quite worried. Can anyone shed some light on what stage 3 prostate cancer means?

My father went through stage 3 prostate treatment recently. We used health apps to track his daily hydration, medicine timings, and step count during radiation therapy. Staying organized on your phone makes managing the side effects so much simpler.

Stage 3 means the cancer has grown outside the prostate gland but hasn't spread to distant parts. Along with hormone therapy, keeping active with daily 30-minute light walks really helps manage the fatigue, provided your doctor clears you for it.

At stage 3, your body goes through a lot due to hormone treatments which can reduce muscle mass. Eating a protein-rich home diet and doing light resistance training if your physician permits is a great way to keep your strength up.

When my father was diagnosed with stage 3, our elders suggested various traditional diets, but we strictly stuck to the oncologist's plan. It is a slow-growing cancer, so with proper medical care, patients live comfortably for many, many years.

I totally get it, hearing the word 'cancer' alongside stage 3 can make anyone freeze with fear. But please know that prostate cancer at this stage responds very well to modern therapies. Sending your family lots of hope and strength.
