It's not really the Medicare I can afford to pay the 20%. That was the doctor's suggestion since he didn't think it was aggressive I could wait to open enrollment next year. The true issue is probably I'm not excited about side effects. I know that all the scans MRI PET scan CAT scan and bone scan are all negative. I know the biopsy only showed half my prostate was affected. And my PSA is 4.5 I'm in my late 60s and decipher score is 0.41 which is low. My main concern is side effects. Of course I would take the side effects to the alternative but at the same time if it's not showing up on any scans it's not aggressive at 3 + 4 I wouldn't think? Especially if they can't see it to even treat they'd have to wipe out the whole gland at this point because they can't see it when all they've really know is this on the right side and can't be seen on scans. But maybe I'm thinking wron why not just watch it. With PSA test every 5 6 months and a biopsy. But I do know that at some point I'll have to end up treating it. Most likely.

I am of the same opinion as you. I feel he should stay with Medicare and perhaps plan F or the new G plan. I haven't had to pay for anything since using the F plan and I'm very pleased that I can go where I need for treatment. Med Advantage is rejected in many places.
