I really support your post!
I have over and over read posters not happy with their medical providers. Whether it be incompedence, non caring, and not patient first oriented they need to find another provider.
During times of medical problems it affects mental health as well. Medical providers need to know this and their approach to patient with this in mind. You can tell really quick if they are oriented to patient first both mentally and physically.
Even if you have to drive much more the mental health impact can be dramatic. And our mental health affects physical health and vice versa. I am glad you found a patient first provider.

Thanks for your input. As depression and just dealing with all of this, my primary doc did put me on anti-anxiety and depression meds which helped. Additionally, I enlisted a therapist for additional support, and it has really helped. He has no real experience with PCa, but has adapted to my concerns and has just been one of the best support systems for my situation. I lucked out with this therapist.
