You wrote “ Radiation has replaced surgery for most people these days. You should look into the other option.” And then suggested that he contact Dr. Mark Sholz in California.

You’ve totally dismissed Mayo Clinic as a center of excellence. Do you honestly think that the doctors specializing in treatment of prostate cancer probably at Mayo are second rate compared to other providers? Mayo sets the highest standard of care.

Stop spreading misinformation that more patients are receiving radiation as their primary treatment. Misinformation is offensive to those of us who are fighting aggressive disease and have gone through surgery after receiving that recommendation from a tumor board at a Center of Excellence.

If you want to share that you received radiation as primary treatment and that your PSA indicates cure please do so to help other men. Don’t give medical advice.

Prostate cancer is a complex disease and treatment is not a one size fits all solution. You’re not a medical expert and need to stop recommending treatment on this forum.
