Hi all.
I have got binder in order with all my medication and records that I have to date. I have two second opinions set up - one with MD Anderson urologist oncologist that I will need to be out of town and another local hospital medical oncologist that does work on prostate. I got a January appointment for one and February for another. My current urologist doctor will see me again in three months to check on my status on ADT. I am also getting a 2md appointment for an overall consultation on their thoughts.
As far genetic tests. I am doing the free spit one, but my current doctor also ordered a Myriad MyChoice one on the biopsy. I assume that is the same as a decipher test? Anyone know if one better than the other. Should I still push for decipher. Those results should be back in ten days.
I wasn't planning on getting any further opinions unless others thought the more the better. .

Hey bud, you sound like you are really getting it all together. Now that you have a focus on what you have, your decision making can become a lot easier.
One question, however….is your “current urologist doctor” the one who put you on finasteride for three years and never did a biopsy with your high PSA levels?
If that is the case you have one more job and that is finding a doctor - urologist, RO or medical oncologist to monitor you from here on in. Do you still have any trust in your doctor’s judgement after finding yourself in this situation? From what you’ve told us he seems out of step with current accepted medical practices.
You owe him nothing - especially loyalty at this point. His feelings do not matter in the equation.
