Editor’s Picks: Gleason 10 learns his doc stopped testing his PSA; active surveillance patient starts treatment too late. (bn)
Topics Discussed
Reports of Dr. Snuffy Myers’s death are greatly exaggerated, as Paul Schellhammer can confirm; doc silently dropped PSA from Alaska newcomer’s yearly blood test in 2011 — now he’s Gleason 10; active surveillance patient’s PSA passes 4 without treatment and it’s 435 now; “Orgovyx? No, you don’t want that,” he’s told; PSA falls from double-digits to undetectible in two months with help from brachy, IMRT, and hormone therapy; a lot of anemia symptoms, but his blood work doesn’t show it — might it be something else?; to see Dr. Antonarakis, he needs to be sicker; hints of a trial that targets foamy gland prostate cancer; NCCN guidelines say added abi is an option for very high risk patients getting ADT with primary radiation; newcomer is 4+3 but he’s got ductal — should he be with us or Low/Intermediate?; no meeting next week — see you July 7.
