Looking for City of Hope prostate oncologist

[skitime]

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer GS 9 in August 2019. Mets were suspected but the scans were not conclusive. I completed ADT, 18 months, and brachy and SBRT. I came off ADT in Jan. 2021. My psa rose to about 0.6 and held steady for four months. In the last three months it has gone from 0.577 to 1.02. My Sept. 2022 PSMA scan at UCLA was still equivocal, faint to low uptake.

I'm planning for the likelihood of treating for metastatic disease--ADT, bop-the mets, lutecium and a taxane.

My doctors are a noted private specialist plus a radio oncologist at UCLA. I want to enlist an entirely separate team for an entirely independent review. Who can you recommend in LA area, likely at City of Hope or other research institution? Dr. Pal is not taking new prostate patients.

if she’s available, Dr. Sandy Liu. She was my MO at UCLA but left for COH earlier this year. She’s on their website. She was way ahead of the curve in my treatment.

I recently I recently met with dr Tanya Dora at city of hope. Appointment was readily available. She is very knowledgeable and recommended a local medical oncologist for me in Arizona
