Hey gang, just read this article, dunno if it has already been posted on HU

Hopefully, this will get men screened, esp after the task force dismissed the PSA test and there was an increase in Advanced PCa diagnoses. Also, data shows Covid-19 reduced screenings with a similar resultant increase

Btw, have #7 Cabazitazel on April Fool's day and hopefully the PSA continues to respond. Asked MO about BAT, haven't heard a response yet.

Fight On y'all

Unfortunately this reads like a promotional piece for nyu medical center. There’s a minor canon of grateful patients writing “love letters” (usually soon after initial treatment) for publishing in local newspapers and hospital newsletters. Nothing evil here; just not effective at activating people towards seeing their own doctors or community clinics. Thanks for posting.

Dr. Lepor at NYU is a world class urologist and prostate researcher. Five years ago I was desperate and was a late Friday add on appointment at the very end of the day. He spent an hour with me as we discussed my unusual circumstances. He kept on asking me if I had a little more time so he could run another test. Although the focal cryo ablation did not work as well as we both hoped, I still consider him one of the finest physicians I had the privilege to meet, and I spent 41 years as a surgical research technician…
