Welcome to this brotherhood that no one wants to join. I'm not a medical professional nor do I have extensive experience dealing with PCa. That said, here's 3 pieces of advice I will share: 1. My best piece of advice is to go to a recognized "cancer center of excellence" if that's an option available to you. Google it and you'll easily find one. I did (Mayo Phoenix) and I was very happy I did. I felt the advice and care was outstanding. 2. I'd recommend Dr. Patrick Walsh's Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer Paperback – October 3, 2023. It's on Amazon and it's the best $20 I ever spent. It really helped educate me on some key points in my decision making. 3. Just know that since so much of the decision making regarding treatment plans for PCa is based on lab results, it's reasonable to get a 2nd (or even 3rd) opinion from other recognized cancer centers of excellence (without actually physically visiting them). Multiple expert opinions can be helpful if you're struggling to decide which treatment plan is best for you. Best wishes.
