My dad is 56 went docs with bad back, next min having tests done he has psa 17 had biopsy which has confirmed prostate cancer. Left side 3+3 and right side 4+3 total 7 Gleason score. He got to have bone scan see if it has spread. Staging t3. I'm lost with all numbers etc. Does it mean it has spread to bones etc.

The PSA levels relates to the amount of Prostate Specific Antigen that is present in a persons bloodcount...indicates possible issues with prostate...
The Gleeson Score is a rating with regards the possible aggressiveness of the cancer...
Staging t3 generally means that the cancer is still contained within the prostate...a good sign...
Good chances are, hopefully, that it is still all contained within the prostate and has not spread...fingers crossed...
I'm 54 and have considerable experience with this dreaded foe so please feel free to ask any questions, regardless of how personal you may think they are...understanding this cancer is vital...
Good Luck and do please keep me informed with your dads results and progress...
