@makemyday1 Up and coming in Va? We have even more in common as I am near Richmond which warrants me asking you which center is the up and comer in Va? UVa or VCU or another. I was seen at Va Ur and my second at VCU. I would welcome the info in case of future BCR. Diagnosed in Oct 2022, Gleason 9 grade 5, 10% one pin dreaded Cribriform T2 contained. Alleged margin BCR, 3 month Lupron switching to Orgovyx for the second 3 months with 25 sessions salvage this year. Did I say I was really interested in that research center lol. Thank you for your kind words.

@chippydoo, yeah, Emily Couric Cancer Center, UVA. I think I made a good choice. The reason I say up and coming was because they were upgraded to a NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center at about the time I was narrowing my choices. VCU’s Massey also has that distinction. For me, it made sense, and I love Charlottesville from our time in a little AirBnB during my 33 radiation treatments. My Urology Oncologist surgeon was trained on DaVinci at Johns Hopkins before coming to UVA Health. I asked all the questions about experience with the DaVinci and felt very comfortable. I could have chosen Georgetown, or VCU, or Hopkins. We live in Fredericksburg.
