Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 6 days ago | Replies (32)Comment receiving replies
Like others, I have a GU Oncologist Managing my case. I had surgery which my urologist did, Radiation which my radiation oncologist did. Once I had An oncologist on my team, they were in responsible for all treatment. When I first started ADT My urologist prescribed it. He Continued prescribing it until I spoke to my GU oncologist and asked to switch to Orgovyx, At that point, she is the one that prescribed it.
My urologist was not involved for over 8 years In my Prostate Cancer treatment.

@jeffmarc that is good to know. I always thought that the urologist was the head of the team and was sort of above the others, even though they may be doing their specific part. I can see I probably viewed that wrong. Thanks.
