@mjp0512 Sounds good.
At John Hopkins, there is a doctor called Channing Paller Who is pretty fantastic, If you’re not getting proper treatment, you could consider using him or even going to him for a second opinion.
I have never personally met My oncologist, She’s in the same city I am in, but I don’t have to go see her because she has all of my medical records. I talk on the phone or through video meeting with her every three months. She is a GU oncologist that is really incredible. I’ve never been able to ask her a question she didn’t have the answer to.
Just something to think about.

@jeffmarc - Thanks, Jeff. I met Dr Paller last year when I was at Kimmel for a second opinion. I wasn't there to see her specifically, but she wandered through with a small group of oncology residents, and I became a 10-minute teaching guinea pig. At that time, my treatment plan was confirmed as correct. I've got her card around here somewhere. Maybe I'll see if she can do a remote review of my file. Think I'll wait for the next PSA test though to see what direction its going.
Funny thing though...I'm more concerned about "the plan" than I am about the Dr running it. I guess that's why I chase second opinions, just so I am assured "the plan" is right. I suppose if I had someone taking a scalpel to me, my attitude would change and the Dr would take precedent.
