Editor’s Pick: Docs finally solve his post-prostatectomy urination ordeal: a surgical clip left in by mistake (bn)

Topics Discussed

Tips to prepare for his first visit to a GU oncologist; choosing between radoncs who disagree on hormone therapy; don’t wait beyond a 0.25 PSA to get a scan; scan first, zap later — not the reverse; his terrible post-prostatectomy urination problems finally explained: a plastic surgical clip got left in after the surgery; after his first Pluvicto round, less bone pain, but middle-of-the-night vomiting; reminder that not everyone needs 6 Pluvicto rounds; his Embr Wave works great — though it didn’t for the fellow AnCan’er who gave it to him; on a trial, he’ll be getting up-front PARP inhibitor along with the ADT for his BRCA mutation — what side effects can he expect?; “tremendous aches throughout my entire body” after second shot of Prolia, and docs saying it’s normal — maybe he doesn’t need the drug so often; good news from an MRI — suspected liver mets are a false alarm.
