Can anyone give insight on hormone therapy treatment for prostate cancer?

A female age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I have a male friend who has been diagnosed with Protate cancer (PCa). The cancer has spread to his bones and that has limited his treatment options. He has been placed on Hormone Therapy - which is supposed to halt the cancers progress but will not cure him. I am wondering if there is anyone out there who has experienced hormone therapy for PCa (or known someone who has) who could tell me how successful it was and for how long, side effects etc. I realise every individuals experience of cancer is different - I guess I am just looking for some hope that he will have some time - and some quality of life.
