Is there an alternative prostate cancer treatment for alcoholics?

Question by Jay: Is there an alternative prostate cancer treatment for alcoholics?
My father in law had his prostate removed 7 years ago. About a year and a half his PSA started rising again so they did three rounds of radiation treatment. His PSA continues to rise, so they chemically castrated him. It seems the cancer has become immune to the lack of testosterone and his PSA level doubled last month. At this point it appears the cancer is systemic but unfortunately it has not manifest itself yet so they don’t know where it is.

The problem: he is an alcoholic and chemotherapy isn’t an option due to existing liver damage. Even if he quit drinking today, his liver couldn’t handle the chemo so my question is:
Is there an alternative prostate cancer treatment for people with liver damage?

I’m sorry, but there isn’t an alterative. Chemo is the last effort I’m afraid. It is not uncommon for the PSA to begin to rise several months to sometimes years before the disease progression becomes evident. I hope this is the case with your father in law.
