I with you on that! I am a retired Radiologist so I know more than the basics and know the Imaging side inside and out. I can read and understand the literature pretty well. But, prostate cancer and its current state-of-the-art treatment is very complicated. I know maybe a tenth of what my experienced MO at Johns Hopkins knows about prostate cancer and its treatment. I believe in being informed and a co-decision maker (it's our life), but when some laypersons start believing they know more than knowledgeable, experienced MO/RO/Urologists at a COE, they are off the reservation. Articles that came out even a few years ago may be outdated. Find a physician you trust, ask questions, decide how aggressive you want the treatment to be but let the treating doctor drive the bus. My opinion, anyway.
