Hi Surf,
You can't catch a break! I can't believe that is really their policy!!! Can you ask your surgeon to do a referral for a consult on the pitential benefit of adjuvant ADT or ADT plus RT? If the surgeon won't/can't, perhaps the RO would be able to do so.

Thanks Bill for your help 🙏
Surgeon already said that "we now wait for PSA" and than we will see what is next 🤕. It is very hard to reach him directly, so far we communicate with his nurses and coordinators.
My husband called a coordinator and he said "no way Jose", only patients with mets go to onco. 😵💫 My husband tried to reason with him and explained that we were failed by doctors TWICE already - first AS was messed up since supposedly my husband was low risk and than it turned out he was not , and than once he was declared intermediate unfavorable he was told AGAIN "no rush, no rush , no rush " and this is VERBATIM what surgeon said , (I even recorded it ) and we know how THAT ended 😭 .
Now we tried to prevent another *oooopssss in 3 mos and look how they behave 🤯 ?!!??!??!?
I told MH to call Stanford tomorrow and we will call also other institutions - this is travesty of medicine , honestly !!! I feel like we live in Kongo or Kazakhstan and perhaps I am insulting those countries with no reason, maybe they treat their patients better ? 😢
