How do you answer the "Do you have cancer now" question?

@jeffmarc I have read those studies too. What I really was looking for was just how others who are post-surgery with a non-detectable PSA are answering the question when filling out medical history forms, etc., about whether they have cancer. It is always good to keep medical and dental providers aware that we once had cancer, I agree. Just wondered how others approached that question. Thank you!

@ramblinman As a retired dentist having dealt with Delta on an almost daily basis🤬, I would guess that prostate cancer is not directly covered.
If you look at the ailments listed, all of them have a direct effect on the oral cavity; either the medications or treatments for the illnesses cause dry mouth (which leads to rampant decay) or the disease itself attacks the salivary glands and inhibits saliva production.
Diabetes, if poorly controlled, will destroy your gums as well.
If you are on Docetaxel or some other chemo perhaps they might make an exception. Hope this helps,
Phil

That response was to somebody else’s statement, It was a reply to them, not an Answer for you.

I guess I was letting other people answer your question.

I tell my dentist because I’m on drugs that can affect my gums and bones.

All the other doctors I work with already have my medical history since I am on Medicare advantage.

Delta dental recently made major changes that resulted in my getting less than half what I used to get for reimbursement. My dentist retired and the dentist that took over the practice no longer had his billing repayment options. I dropped my Delta dental insurance because it just doesn’t cover much of anything anymore.
