(Mild hijack, but related.)
I've just been diagnosed with early prostate cancer, fully treatable / curable.
Doc is leaning toward radiation, 29 to 39 treatments, going 5 days / week. I'm preferring surgery, for several reasons.
So I'm doing my due diligence, not being obstinate, but let's face it-- who is more interested, or more directly impacted by the procedures, the docs, or me?
Many patients are too trusting of "professionals", and don't take responsibility for themselves, to the point of giving over complete control and authority to someone they hardly even know.
I didn't know this guy before being referred to him after the diagnosis. It's not my nature to accept anything much, without asking questions.
I'm still deciding, but also still leaning towards surgery.
To be determined...
