Now that the cancer is in my bones, how fast does it move?  Is it still considered a slow growing cancer?

Hi... i am interested to know your story.  When were you diagnosed and when did you have a prostatectomy?  Did you know, right after your surgery, after biopsy, that cancer penetrated capsule?  what were your recurring PSA's?  I'm curious because my husband had a radical prostatectomy in January 2010.  He has an elevating PSA and we are told that he will now need radiation or chemo/hormone treatments.  We are now waiting for another PSA next week to see how quickly it's rising (doubling time).  That will determine the mode of treatment.  Please tell me about your history and when you learned that it metasticized to the bone.  I would appreciate you sharing your story.
thanks
