Hi Prince, Advanced cancer means it has spread to parts of your body beyond the prostate, the other word to use for this is metastatic. You will almost certainly respond to degarelix treatment, however it will be a case of managing the cancer not curing it. You will almost certainly be on degarelix or something similar for the rest of your life.
The PSA test from 2017 implies the cancer was not there then, or if it was it was very mild at that time. To have reached a PSA of 1356 in 7 years means that this cancer is now moderately aggressive. Without treatment you would have bone pain and other problems very soon.
