Remember that anything a urologist/oncologist tells you that’s their opinion or interpretation, you should get a 2nd opinion on - MRI results, biopsy results, PET scan results, and treatment decisions.

So, if he says “Welp, there is nothing we can do for you,” then ask for an independent 2nd opinion.

Plus, prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment is one of self-advocacy and shared decision-making. You need to come up to speed on the nuances of the disease, your diagnosis, and appropriate treatments so that you can come back with “What about this possible treatment?”

Hi John , unfortunately I do not know much about somatic testing but I just want to tell you that there is probably plenty that they can do for you.
You had some bladder neck involvement and small breach out of a gland - right ? All nodes clear, as far as I can remember, sorry if I mixed up something.
They just probably want to make sure to choose the best way forward and clear all of that cancer once and for all.
Sending you healing vibes : )))
