In my last sentence, I meant to say “if the for.”
In my opinion, you would be better off with an oncologist, not urologist. Also, you must take control of your care. Do the research. Doctors these days are overwhelmed and often do not provide the necessary counseling.
Finally, play the cards you are dealt.

Jeez! “If the former.”

Thanks for your comments. The initial diagnosis was by a urologist of course, a surgeon, but you are right: when I chose radiation, I was of course in the hands of a radiation oncologist. The post-radiation follow up includes the radiation oncologist, but now it's primarily a medical oncologist for tracking Lupron treatment which is done quarterly. For the latter, questions in writing and in person re. Lupron length versus effectiveness have always been deflected or elided. My current issue is whether there is significant value to returning to the gym, particularly absent testosterone. How are you dealing these cards?
