I am a Kaiser patient in Northern California. I can’t understand, From what you describe, How Kaiser says your cancer doesn’t fit into Kaiser’s neat little box. I don’t see anything about your cancer that is unusual. I don’t see anything they have done in your treatment that is unusual.

In northern California, we have the advantage of having the only Genito Urinary oncologist in the Kaiser system. Your case sure wouldn’t we be unusual for her?

They sure are a lot of people with Gleason nines. Are they out of the box? I would imagine this annoyed you at least a little bit! Arghhhh!

I do like this doctor, he says I have a very high risk and aggressive PCa, with the pain I’m experiencing I don’t just want to sit back and wait for reoccurrence when I’ve read about add on drugs that seem to have better outcomes. He did prescribe Neurontin if it’s nerve pain but comes with some downside. Not sure I want to get in to that when it could be something else, even the Lupron itself.
