Yes, you can imagine that I am very angry at how this came about. I was aware of my rosk and brought it up with three different PCPs, but they just followed some outdated guidance.
Now, partially I also blame myself fir not having made an appontment with an urologist. But if a doctor tells you not to worry, you like that advice and you don’t act.

I am doing the same thing, blaming myself for not second guessing a specialist (urologist) . I can write a book of how many times I had to fight for the right diagnosis, right treatments, correct tests for myself, my husband, kids and other family members. If I did not do that (and I am not exaggerating), I am not sure if my husband would have been alive today, and also perhaps one of my daughters. I trusted this urologist only because he was recommended by my husband's cardiologist to whom I learned to trust over years, and that was mistake. But we both should stop blaming ourselves for sucky job other people do : (((, it is not fair to blame ourselves... I'm now working on that part very hard and trying to concentrate on next steps that need to be taken. What else can we do ...
