Who is a good doctor for 2nd opinion?

[jsmith2506]

I'm looking to do another second opinion on my 2 year anniversary since diagnosis. Does anyone know of a good prostate cancer specialist in either Austin, San Antonio or Houston, Texas. Current state is Stage IV, Gleason 9, undetectable PSA since treatment started on May 7, 2016, 4 small pelvic mets. On Leupron, Zometa, Finasteride for 2 years. No pain, no urinary issues, normal appetite and low fat mostly vegetarian diet with supplements of Broccoli Sprout extract, lycophene, Curcumin, IP6, 5Lox Inhibitor, Calcium, D3, and multivitamin. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

I do not know anybody in that area but you could consider consulting at the MD Anderson in Houston, a center of excellence for research and treatment of cancer. This is a list of doctors working in urogenital cancers:

Dr. Ana Aparicio apparently works in prostate cancer according to the numerous scientific articles she has published about prostate cancer.

MD Anderson has numerous clinical trials going on.

I live in FL and went to MD Anderson for a full evaluation. It was worth it. They connected to an excellent RO at UM Sylvester who did my mapping and they have a cancer satellite center which is awesome 15 min from my home.

I also met the doctor who tought my current MO. I go under his care in 10 days. I was discouraged by the idiot urologist I was initially involved with for the prostate surgery about UM Sylvester, I should never have listened to that BS. My priamary ask me if if had looked outside of our area for a second opinion and that's when I decided on MD Anderson.

We will be moving to FL, may I ask where your MO is in FL and his name? Not happy with the MO we have in AL right now!

[dmartinaog in reply to sjc2]

I'm going with Dr Singal of UM Sylvester. He is at the Deerfield center on Friday's. I found out he tought my current MO who is also very good. I want all my care under UM Sylvester, I like the doctors and the chart system.

Wow, small world, we used to live in Deerfield! We will be moving to Ocala, so I guess we'll miss out on a good Dr.!

MD Anderson in Houston is a leader. I am sure you can find a second/third/fourth opinion there

Are you looking for an evaluation of your current course of treatment? All ducks quack alike.

Just make sure you don't ask your first for a second. I did, and he said "and you're ugly too". (sorry guys, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity)

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
