Which Mayo Clinic is best for Prostate Cancer treatment and wait times

I was hoping someone would assure me that having this BRCA gene mutation would help me get into treatment with a specialist sooner, My progression has been increasing in the last 6 months and I need aggressive managment.

@maryvilleman I think @jimcinak covered it very well. Rochester is absolutely huge compared with Scottsdale. Rochester is also very big into research and I would think they would be more up on latest treatment options. Not up on BRCA gene at all. Had SBRT Proton beam going on w. T years and still my PSA is <.01. I go to Scottsdale for Barrett's esophagus procedures while my Radiation Oncologist monitors my PSA in Rochester. If I would need surgery because of increasing PSA #'s I would probably go back to Rochester because of the team support they give you. Most likely you will need to be on ADT before either radiation or surgery, are you on it already? Good luck
