Editor’s Pick: When deciding on a treatment plan, the most important thing a patient can do is having a medical team that you trust. Be wary of letting anxiety and uncertainty push drive selection of a treatment plan. Use the time you have to make an informed decision. (bj)

Topics Discussed
New diagnosis and trying to decide between active surveillance and treatment based on high PSA and biopsy results; the importance of getting a second “reading” opinion on biopsy results; recommendations for genetic tests — to include the Prostate Cancer PROMISE, DECIPHER, and ArteraAI; seeking an opinion on a treatment plan after getting a random biopsy — getting a biopsy before the MRI; dealing with the anxiety and uncertainty associated with selecting a treatment plan; the importance of having a medical team that you can trust; EpiSwitch prostate screening; when to get a PSMA Pet Scan?; thiabendazole utility — better treatment options exist; healthy habits include diets that emphasize plants (i.e. low- or no meat) and exercise (150 – 210 minutes a week spread across 5 – 7 sessions, minimum session of 30 minutes).

Bill Allen
Mark- just to be clear-mI should speak w Dr D’Amico regarding Artera AI – is that spelling correct ?

Steve R
Regarding the Promise test: Did I understand your preference was to not share results with the doctor? Why or why not?

Bill Allen
Thank you Dr John.

AnCan  – rick
Yup – just gets much more complicated and time consuming to get result. You can share when you get the results if needed
