I agree he was definitely not treated correctly when all he had was an NP To talk to after surgery and the results of the prostate biopsy.

He should’ve been able to talk to a doctor about your options.

It does seem going to a different medical center would make a lot of sense. He needs to go to a place that cares about his treatment.

@jeffmarc, I was so persistent yesterday, waited on hold for a long time and demanded that he be seen by the doctor. They made it happen and we were able to meet with him today.

It wasn’t that great of news but it was reassurance to meet with him knowing he’s the best one to speak to post op. I also feel like we were able to establish a bit of rapport.

He’ll be back for next appointment 12/9 for a more accurate PSA test. From there, will be the deciding factor of what his options are going forward. Most likely, radiation + hormone therapy?? We are also waiting to have him get genetically tested and those results.

Thanks again for sharing your story and experience. I greatly appreciate it.
