Trying to decide treatment options and quality of life after

Agreed < 3 Of course !!! It is just unfortunate that most ROs (it seems) skip that part during consultations and present radiation almost like some "extreme spa treatment" (like the dude with colorful ties). As long as we have full picture, all is well. One can than know what to observe and what to pay attention to and act preemptively and/or on time.
As my husband's cardiologist says :"EVERYTHING is fixable" ! One just needs to be proactive and search for the best doctors and treatments and never give up. BTW, he also was recently diagnosed with PC : (((. He is still 3+3 and may it stay that way forever. He is such a nice person and amazing doctor and in his 50-ies. : (((

“…like the dude with the colorful ties.” Too funny!! That’s Dr Scholtz, who has those uber-scripted ‘interviews’ with his secretary.
Honestly, I can’t listen to him. Everything is explained a little too breezily and off the cuff, like he read it somewhere and is merely mentioning it to you in passing.
I don’t know, maybe that’s his intent: present PCa as a big nothingburger, the treatment a piece of cake and everybody goes on to live a happy normal life??
But please, somebody please get him a new wardrobe - starting with those ties!! Those are the 3 for $5 jobs that nerdy high school kids used to wear when they summer interned at the local library…
