Well, if you go that route may I suggest a younger RO - early 40’s or so? I say this because most older drs do things by rote; they have a treatment protocol they’ve gotten used to over the years and usually don’t deviate from it no matter what.
Younger drs. Are nurtured on newer techniques and research - in fact, most of them are required to publish and take part in clinical research during their training.
Ask yourself where you might be today had you gotten a second opinion from a younger surgeon- someone who might have taken your age into account. You might never have had surgery at all, right?
Probably ADT, but more likely Orgovyx and not Lupron and perhaps your side effects would have been less. Chances are if you are depressed you are in a funk and can’t be motivated into seeking out a second opinion, and I get that.
But as you’ve corresponded on this forum, I get the sense that you really want a do-over, or at least, change some of your decisions which were made by trusting in your doctors explicitly and not doing enough research on your own. That’s a mistake many of us older guys make - the doctor always knows best!
Well, you see firsthand what that gets you, OK?? At least now you still have the opportunity to take part in the decision making once someone new lays out the facts for you. But you’ll never know if you don’t try….best
