^^^ Cab I have no problem with you or anyone commenting/ranting on here . That was the intent of my original post in 2015 . And yes as men we have to get smarter on issues that affect us . And really engage with our doctors . If a doctor asks " how you doing " and we always say " just fine " when we aren't that doesn't help .
My primary care doctor in 2015 initially caught my cancer . His referral to a specialist put me on my path to healing . From then on my PSA gets checked every 6 months along with other blood work . I am grateful that all my doctors seem to be on the same page for my well being .
I start radiation treatments this afternoon. My doctors recommended a path forward , I did some research and made the decision to follow their path . As a consumer that's about all I can do . Because this is my 2nd go round they will treat the entire pelvis . Their version of " while I'm in there " 😁 .
I am pretty sure we will beat this based on the doctors confidence . But there are no guarantees . That's life in a nutshell .
