Sorry to hear the news, and can only hope the problem is not too advanced. My father was diagnosed w. prostate cancer sometime in the mid-1980s. There were a variety of treatments at that time, and some only held the disease back for a few years. Nevertheless, he survived, dying of completely different causes just this last year. So I think with good treatment, good outcome is probable.
Oh, and CAS14, speaking of affording medical care, and/or finding a doctor to visit, an old friend of mine who I hadn't seen in perhaps 30 years or more showed up at my door a few years ago. Turns out he met and married a Norwegian woman, a doctor as it happened, and moved to Norway. When he visited, he expressed shock at how how expensive medical care here was.
