Thanks Jim: What really got me is that no doctor in the two years I was in trouble knew that lower back pain in an older man is a red flag for prostate cancer. None ever brought up my prostate? I diagnosed myself. It just infuriates me that I have been put in this situation because of doctors who failed at their job in every way. I’ve come to terms with this now so I’m okay. Thanks again. All the best to you.

I agree, it is very disturbing how many incompetent doctors and hospital organizations there are in practice. At this point, like you did, we must all become educated about our symptoms and help drive our doctors to the root cause. After a person knows what they have, it is vital to get to a center of excellence for that illness. For me, with prostate cancer, that was Mayo-Rochester. I cannot say enough positive about the experience I had at Mayo-Rochester. Doctors and staff were incredible and caring.

Jim
