It is fair to say there is competing research in all areas of PC and filtering the noise in the pursuit of your best outcome is what most of us in this camp have struggled with at times. That said, I am a proponent of consulting with a competing surgeon and an oncologist who is truly up to speed on the latest protocols while also diving hard into the associated research. I've watched a number of our peers go the route of enjoying their current health as long as possible versus the route of treatment with mixed results. I'm a firm believer in doing what it takes to extend my time on earth...especially now that it is football season!

I would guess that certain stage 4 PCa s are treated differently depending on what part of the country you live in. All protocols are not the same= MO/RO s are making their best guess/ approaches in their minds: how to treat an individual patient. This is based on what I ve read on this forum over the past few months.
