…through the first 8 chapters….excellent!
One of the most interesting parts (so far IMO) is how adamant your first physician, along with an 8 person multi-disciplinary team, were that you MUST get immediate treatment only to completely REVERSE their opinions and recommend continuing active surveillance, three years AFTER you had demonstrated no progression!
That certainly was a vindication of your process and must have been something of a “aha moment”…similar to how I felt when my urologist dismissed the fact that my original PIRADS 3, PIRADS 4 and PIRADS 5 lesions were ALL no longer visible in a 28 month follow up mpMRI…only to comment “….well mpMRI’s are notoriously inaccurate”.
Really appreciate how you footnote each cited statistic and medical conclusion with detailed reference to original journal published medical research papers.
BTW: Excellent writing skills and personal anecdotes…don’t know how many times I’ve exclaimed “Nailed it” or “Exactly!”
…and I’m only halfway through…
All the best!
