It is the same health care system so I figured I would get the run around. All I did was ask him to read some articles to let me know what he thought. I am searching for a new doctor outside that system.

Realistically, you won’t get drs to read anything you send them. They are totally overwhelmed with patient load, administration and ‘paperwork’ although today it’s done on a laptop.
Even if you sent them research articles from NIH and major cancer institutes, they would look at the title and that’s it.
Treatment for this disease is perilous - everything comes at a cost. When the dr or Np read me my rights about all the possible side effects of this or that I didn’t even listen….why bother? I read all about it already and I was focused on the cancer, all else be damned.
So whatever the ADT did to me, or whatever the radiation does to me down the line I am not gonna look for the ‘whys’ - I KNOW why. If there’s something I can do about it, I will and if not, it will suck to high heaven and I’ll just have to deal with it the best I can.
Radiation kills… So it can also bring on things less fatal - neuropathy, incontinence, secondary cancers, etc. After treatment, anything goes and you are pretty much on your own, since like a cracked egg, the damage really cannot be undone. Not fun to hear, but there it is. Best,
