@mjp0512 Yes! I'm 73, and before PCa, I was not used to seeing doctors - at all - until 2021 when I saw a urologist about a problem, then went quickly into six months of Lupron and radiation. All was well until last December, when PSA jumped. Same urologist, but a couple of worrisome kinks in their treatment process led me to seek elsewhere from his urological commercial chain. Geez, where do I go, how do I do this? I found it was easy. Pick up the phone and dial (I'm old) a number. Or get referred by the pro behind the door you just opened with your phone work.

I've done that recently for a couple of other needs, like cardiology and PT for a cranky hamstring. It's liberating. If you have decent insurance (I'm in the U.S.) someone will pick up on the other end. It just doesn't occur to a lot of us, who've always been taught not to question the doc. It's ironic that because there really is no "system" here, we can often make the Wild West work for us.
