Mike It is important to get a doctor who is in a large, well respected, peer review group ( affiliated with medical school, Mayo, Scripts etc) This business of solo practice doctors, no peer review, is high risk for us. I had wonderful , likeable sole practitioners when I lived in Phoenix and I thought the world of them but the care that I am presently getting at UCLA is far superior to my prior experience. I learned this lesson a bit late in life and I and they should have caught my cancer sooner. I felt fine and saw no reason to make a change and I made some fundamental mistakes!

I am just lucky I have a very good and through endocrinologist who caught my cancer before it had spread from my prostate. My three-month PSA after my five proton radiation treatments was undetectable. So I am hopeful it stays there for a long time. At 74 it appears the PC will not kill me, and it will be something else.
