@dutchman09 Frustrating as all get-out, isn't it? We expect that when our medical professionals tell us they will do something, it will get done. I know for myself, and I'll bet many others here, we have had to do the follow-up ourselves. Only to find out something fell through the cracks, which causes yet more anxiety and wait time. Since we are closest to our health issue, it feels magnified, right?
I will be interested to hear what the urologist says tomorrow, as no doubt you will be, too. Meanwhile, what are you doing today to help you relax a bit, take the edge of the "what ifs" you are feeling? Would taking a walk outside help?

Hi Gingerw: They won't let me make the same post twice because I already posted yesterday's 'challenge' to @colleenyoung. Is there a way you can reference her to see what transpired at the Urologist's office?

Let's see; to relax today (relax, ha!) I've spent most of the day researching the Internet and I've come to the conclusion that Google is SEVERELY overrated! I ask one question "Is a Gleason score reading possible after a radical prostectomy"? All I get is advertisements for lowering male PSA. (Google, Big Oil, Big Pharma, Facebook and the rest are all in it for the BIG BUCKS!) This country has the most expensive healthcare in the world and what do we get for it? (I heard that!) I could probably spend weeks on this stuff and still not be ready for tomorrow. Probably by Wednesday I MIGHT be ready to talk with a few people about my prognosis.
