Hi there,

I’m scraping together information because my 68 year old Dad was just diagnosed (17 psa and no Gleason yet, but mets found somewhere. He is being tight-lipped to protect his daughters. Biopsy soon).

Does anyone have any recommendations for doctors or hospitals doing good work for prostate cancer patients in Chicago?

Prayers to you all,

Annette

Maha Hussain at Northwestern was my oncologist while she was at U of Michigan. She is recognized as one of the best in the world.

Dr William Catalona is a surgeon at Northwestern. He was instrumental in developing the PSA test. Don't know if he still does surgeries..he did my Dad's back in 1993. I'm sure his group is top notch, he is very passionate about Prostate cancer.
