Hi all- First of all, many thanks for the replies to my posting about my brother’s treatment options after Docetaxel stops working. I received a lot of helpful information. I am trying to research the different treatment options that were mentioned but I must admit it is complicated to say the least.
We are meeting with his oncologist on Friday and I am trying to be as prepared as possible. His oncologist is not a specialist with prostate cancer. Are there specific tests I should request that may be needed to see if he is a good candidate for different treatment options? Also, are there recommendations for oncologists in order to get a second opinion on his treatment options? I will be paying out of pocket since I cannot get it covered by the HMO. I would just like to make sure his oncologist is on the right track since he is not his area of expertise. Many thanks again!
