Hi gonzaler84,
I was diagnosed with Gleason 9, treated and continue to be monitored at UW/Fred Hutch. I opted for RT rather than surgery, but I have several friends who had RALP done by Dr. Lin who have had nothing but positive things to say about the care they received from diagnosis through surgery. Each one had a very favorable outcome.

I suspect that you have already reviewed the bios of each of the physicians at Fred Hutch who treat PCa, if not, here is a link to the directory:

When I was first diagnosed, I was given appointments with gentiouary specialists in surgery, medical oncology and radiology. Each shared their perspectives on my diagnosis and treatment options as well as answering all of my questions. That said, continue to do your own due diligence. Be a strong advocate for yourself. What is known about PCa and best treatments is constantly evolving. When reading about treatments and outcomes, make certain that it pertains to men with Gleason 9 (high risk or very high risk PCa) as many of the trials and studies exclude these groups and posts on MCC may not be relevant for a man with high or very high risk disease. Check to see how old the data is that is being analyzed. Older data comes from trials or studies that were based on treatments and outcomes which are now outdated. You can also search for threads on sepecific topics on MCC, something I continue to find very helpful.

You are in great hands at The Hutch.

Bill
