I quoted doctors in what I have said to you. I have recommended things that are standards of care with prostate cancer. When I give advice I almost always include, ask your doctor, unless the recommendations are for slight differences like Orgovyx over the other ADT options.
I have attended Advance prostate cancer weekly meetings at Ancan.org for about 4 years. During the meetings, they recommend treatments to people that are most likely to be standard of care. I also attend biweekly meetings with another group and monthly meetings with UCSF’s group. All of these meetings discussed treatments for people that have a need for options because many of the times the doctors they are going to are not following guidelines and under treating people. When I recommend different treatments, I almost always say ask your doctor, since I am not a doctor.
People need to have exposure to different treatments that other people are having that actually work. That’s one of the reasons they come in here, To get other options For their treatments.
I also have had quite a bit of experience with prostate cancer. I’ve had surgery and both salvage and SBRT radiation. I’ve had four reoccurrences, and with all I’ve learned during the 15 years I’ve had prostate cancer I can pass on a lot of first hand experience.
