I told the Doctor..yesterday that before we proceed..i want to check for cancer
His reply was:
Because your doing better and responding to finasteride well i think ill have you come back in 6 months for a blood draw ..PSA and go from there..
Okay now my opion is this ...he didnt think the removal was necessary at this time also...
It almost felt like he had a sly of relief because he was so fast at stopping for 6 months..with no argument..or anything..

@casd57 OMG!! That is the last thing a good urologist should say; “oh, you’re peeing better so no need to look for cancer - see ya!”
You don’t need a COE - just someone better than this guy!

@casd57 It looks like you are dealing with small town Urologist(s), doctors. Since there are no "centers of excellence" in your state that you could travel to I would at least consider doing a video consult with a top prostate doc. A few that come to mind are Dr Scholz, Dr Chang, etc. You could send them your records then after they review records do a virtual consult with them. Insurance should cover the consult with most doctors but with Dr Scholz there is an extra membership fee good for a year where he will have a consult with you once a month to keep up with everything. Dr Scholz has many great prostate videos for free on youtube.
