I've been at this 11+ years, high risk, four different treatments..

In part, my life has depended on my actively involvement in discussions and treatment discussions and decisions with my medical team.

When I was diagnosed and my urology was going over the biopsy report with me, he finished "explaining" the results and his recommendation, then closed with "what questions do you have?"

I mused for a second, said no...what I really wanted to ask was"what's a prostate!!" I didn't, despite the "there's no dumb question mantra, there is!

That was my level of knowledge when I started...!
