Suggestions for Nashville

[lopwillie]

I see Dr. Sulek and Dr. Jayram of Urology Associates in Nashville TN. I wish to get a second opinion! Can someone suggest a stage 4 Prostate cancer specialist, I could see? Thanks William

I don’t have a specific doctor but I believe you need to see a research oncologist at Vanderbilt Medical Center soon.

I'll second this. I had all of my diagnosis and primary treatments done through Vanderbilt. It's a very good facility, a regional referral hospital system.

Many others are much more informed than me, but suggest Johns Hopkins has a second opinion link on their website. The usual suspects are MSK, JH, Duke, UCSF. Closer, you could try Dr. Earle Burgess at Levine Cancer in Charlotte. I'm sure you'll hear from others. Best of luck with your treatment.

You might call Kelvin Moses' office. He only is in the clinic one day a week. He is in surgery or doing research the rest of the time.

Hello tallguy2, Thanks for suggesting Dr. Moses. Next week, I have an appointment with Dr. Kerry Schaffer. She is an Oncologist at Vanderbilt Cancer Center. Since I am looking for a 2nd opinion, I will start with her and learn as much as I can, so I can either stay with the Doctors I started with or change to Vanderbilt. I certainly will keep Dr Moses in mind. I continue to hear great things about him. Thanks for the leads and encouragement. It is very kind of you. Cheers William

I had my RP completed by Dr Hassan in Franklin. And I had my Radiation by Dr Cmelak. Both are with Vanderbilt
