Be Your Own Best Advocate – Something we say a lot, definitely. And yeah, we wear it proudly on our shirts too. But we really mean it!
As an advocate myself, I truly believe change happens at the community level, and that includes in the doctor’s office as well. Times change, opinions change, and we’ve seen that a lot with Active Surveillance in particular. What was once controversial, is now a common discussion at the urologist. I’m so glad we had our Active Surveillance & Beyond! webinar series to make this even more mainstream.
Our Howard Wolinsky has now been on AS for a decade! And he has some very thoughtful reflections on them. Read about his experience then, and now in a piece he wrote titled “Reflections on a decade on active surveillance: Coexisting with prostate cancer“.
Congratulations on your decade anniversary, Howard! We are so thankful for you.
