Your urologist can prescribe Xtandi, but I’m getting the impression you have a high PSA and you’re trying to medicate yourself? That’s not the way it works. Have you been diagnosed?
While some procedures require long wait times in the Canadian health care system, those that are time sensitive and urgent are given priority. If your PSA is rising quickly, you won't have to wait for months to see an oncologist.
When my original PSA test came back at 103.0, I had an appointment with a urologist the next day. Within a week, I had a CT scan, MRI, bone scan, and biopsy. Once Stage 4 cancer was confirmed, I saw a medical and a radiation oncologist two weeks later. I started docetaxel about two weeks after that. The system can work quickly when it needs to.
I guess you could self medicate the Xtandi but the docetaxel you cannot self medicate. You need to constantly watch your blood markers to ensure you don't die. It's why most MOs are also hematologist. I suggest you keep working the system you voted for. Otherwise, you need to move south.
thanks, it is a complete shit show here, 5 months wait time etc, I am alive for 26 years because I stayed away from our cancer center, now I have no choice so need to get the change in drugs in my own
our system here is broken and I am on my own, but have kept alive for 26 years until the recent failure of my lupron/casodex combo crashed on me, with psa and test skyrocketing.
no Mets, my psa was only 5.5 when removed, have kept it under 7 fir 26 years! Started to go up while on combo last November so a mess now at 20 plus. Thus the need to change quickly
