This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
You should ask for him to recommend an experienced radiation oncologist near your home.....Always remember, urologists are surgeons and like the American Cancer Study proved, those who are trained to cut, like to cut. You must expect he will recommend surgery for he has been trained that surgery is the best treatment for cancer....It's not and a host a men have had their sex lives butchered by urologists who with little training and even less experience claim that they will spare your nerve bundles....oops.
I did IMRT=ADT and have come out of it in fine shape, no leaking, no diapers, no colon problems, no ED, no ejaculating blood or urine, no pain....talk to a radiation oncologist.
