@jeffmarc Yes. This is why during my 9 years on active surveillance, I spent many years (3+) confirming and verifying what was told to me by any doctors before I agreed to anything. Even today (5y3m post-treatment), I still “trust but verify.”
For example, here’s another interview of Dr. Scholz on this topic where he explains further: https://youtu.be/zwvGb8XGDqg
Even with my own urologist, radiation oncologist, and medical oncologist,….. yes. I accepted what they said, but I always verified and confirmed it with dozens of other sources.
Once I was satisfied, then I was ok with it.
