One thing I found useful was getting the actual reports of various tests from the providers portals and studying them myself. It took some effort to get through the terminology, but reading the test reports myself gave me the specific details necessary to more fully understand what they found. Also, as you dive into detailed information it allows you to better relate your specific case to the information you'll be reading about. I spoke with about 5 or 6 different providers along the way, and while everything they told me was "true", I found most of them tended to summarize my test results at a high level that wasn't terribly useful in helping me figure out what to do. Also, I think they tended to downplay the seriousness of the test results. I appreciate no one was trying to scare me into doing something rash, but studying my results helped me educate myself on this topic, ask better questions and put me in a better position to make decisions I needed to live with. Also, it's often wise to get a second opinion on your test results, especially if the results are open to interpretation. As you get further along I'll be happy to share the details of my case and why I made the decision I did. But more important than the decision will be understanding the "why". My neighbor 2 doors down was diagnosed with PC about the same time as me. One of us had surgery, and one of us had radiation. Frankly, I think we both made the right decision. When dealing with people and PC there's a lot of variables that inherently make every case a bit unique. Especially where they overlap, it'll be up to you to figure out which treatment makes the most sense for you. As always, best wishes.
