@dbee, can you share more about the details of your diagnosis, for example stage, type, when you were diagnosed and if you’ve had any treatments?

Yes, I reviewed the first appointment with the oncoligist thread you reference. The stage is 1, Gleason 3+3, August of 2022 biopsy and diagnosis, no treatments yet. I have contacted Mayo about a follow-up and to schedule the second biopsy. They indicated that I start in the Urology dept for consultations and then bring in oncology from the cancer department if the cancer has spread. That was confusing to me given the other threads that seem to indicate others have consulted with oncologists and hadn't yet shown a spread of the cancer outside the prostate. Maybe there are oncologists in the Urology department familiar with all of the different treatment options?
