Good question and @jeffmarc gave you loads of info to digest.

@jaflag, did you ask your doctor the same question? What did you learn? How are you doing?

@colleenyoung, I actually had my follow up appointment today. I go to Mayo Phoenix. I have to say I'm disappointed in my provider. I just feel that they don't seem to be concerned about my high risk (pT3b, Gleason 9) pathology or my status with BRCA2. They want to apply the same standards to my situation (no action until two consecutive PSAs of 0.2. I let the provider know that I wasn't waiting until then. I asked for a referral to a medical oncologist with some genetic knowledge and was told they really didn't have anyone. I'm already searching for another opinion but will likely have to travel out of state, unfortunately.
