Not a problem at all. I sometimes hit reply to comment on something regarding a discussion. I should be careful to do it at end of discussions.

MCC is a great source of information. I have been through it all and hope I can help by providing what I learned and went through. I have posted many times I was not aware of MCC until attended a prostrate cancer seminar at Mayo Jacksonville.. What a disapointment not knowing about MCC before then. I could have really used all that experience of others.

However my PCP was, and is, outstanding. He was the one who advised about proton verus photon and provide me a lot of research and pros and cons of each treatments. He still a active involvement with my recovery and hopefully cure. He is the one who did not like my continued PSA rising numbers even though I was still below the norm of 4 and ordered the urologist referral.
Take care!!

jc76, I didn't know about MCC until your post. Thank you.

I had somatic testing on a tumor (not prostate) through Foundation One. They addended that the chemotherapeutic drugs I was being pressured to take were specifically not effective against my mutations.
I also had Proton but at CA Proton. I started out at University of Pennyslvania, but they wouldn't agree to Proton without chemotherapy. So there I was trapped in sunny La Jolla in a beachfront condo for two months.
Soon, everyone with cancer will have somatic testing.
