So much controversy and just plain false info on PC I have found. This makes it nearly impossible for us PC sufferers to get solid info on what is really going on from any oncologists. One example : "Side effects of Lupron are very rare" from an oncologist. WTF! Sales pitch to get the very costly 6-7K shot. Great for the provider and patirnt with insurance,without really a bad deal.

Perhaps it was poor communication, and they meant *serious* side effects (e.g. heart attack, stroke, diabetes, bone fractures, death)? Just guessing.

Do doctors in the U.S. get a commission on the drugs they prescribe? It seems unlikely, but I don't know a lot about your system there. I would have assumed they bill the same for writing a $70 prescription as a $7,000 one. 🤷
