Prostate Cancer | Last Active: Feb 4 4:44pm | Replies (8)Comment receiving replies
Hi Jeff and thank you. I am treating at Mayo in Phoenix I return tomorrow for the cath removal and will start down the next journey. Any suggestions from you or others as to the very best genito urinary oncologist at Mayo or anywhere else in the US. At 69 years of age and having been relatively healthy until now, I refuse to sit back and let this disease win and am open to any and all suggestions for 2nd and 3rd opinions on the best center and oncologist to hold my hand and guide me through this very scary situation.
I appreciate you Jeff.

Mayo is a real good place to get treated. I don’t know the name of a GU oncologist there. I would just ask them to place you with one
You could get a second opinion from outside Mayo. Mark Scholz In Marina del Rey, California is a good place to go to get a second opinion. He has a fixed fee, but he really knows his stuff
You can check them out on YouTube. He does speeches at PCI twice a year and the speeches are on there so you can hear what he has to say. I Know a lot of people that are using him as a second opinion
You could go to UCSF San Francisco they have an excellent prostate cancer department that has multiple GU oncologist.
You could come to Ancan.org Advanced prostate cancer Meeting, There is one today at 5 PM Pacific time. You get there five minutes early they will talk to you first and can give you some really great ideas on treatment and who to go to in your area They’ve been helping people for over 15 years and besides the three main people there’s at least two or three doctors there every Meeting. If you go to the website, you can look at video of previous meetings and find out how to attend.
