My husband was diagnosed a few weeks ago with "advanced disease" prostate cancer. All 12 specimens positive. His pay is 10 and Gleason a 9. He's got a mass on the adrenal gland but cut and bone scan clear otherwise. He's having MRI for adrenal gland. Who's had experience in Fort Lauderdale area with treatment? We're using the doc find app on insurance directory.

I assume a urologist found the cancer? Was it via biopsy? He should be able to point you to good surgeons and radiation oncologists . Depending on his age and health he could be a candidate for either or should start systemic therapy due to apparent high volume of disease. Also considered more efficient ct pet scans.

You might cross-check your Insurance Doctor Look-up with some of the doctors for various prostate cancer treatment modalities at a place like this in Broward County.

Sylvester also has a prostate cancer support group that meets on the 4th Thursday each month at the Lennar Foundation Medical Center in Coral Gables.
