Can anyone comment on Stanford Medicine Health Care second opinion program?
How long did it take to get the second option, did it help guide you? My doctors are exploring cryotherapy, Brachy Therapy and surgery to remove the prostate. But ultimately, the final decision will be mine. I'm trying to understand the risk and success factors of each option. I was diagnosed 11/21

Still here today
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in January 2017. Had my prostate removed in March 2017. PSA was ok for a while but started rising in March 2019. Had 35 radiation treatments April-May 2019. Again PSA was ok for a while but started rising in Spring of 2021. A Pet scan showed a spot on my sternum

60-Year-Old Father, Stage 4 Prostate Cancer Gleason 9 Diagnosed 7 Months Ago. "Mixed Response" to Treatment.
I have an older post about my father's situation, if you're interested. In May 2022, my father was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer with extensive metastases and a high Gleason score. He started hormone therapy and the doctor recommended chemotherapy "as soon as his body could handle it." Currently

bloodthinners
I’ve been on blood thinners for6 months after having a Pulmonary Embolism post surgery. I have completed my Chemo. 3 weeks ago and I have been told I can stop taking blood thinners as my risk is no greater than the normal person. Has anybody else been through a similar experience. I feel a bit anxious

Has anyone developed postnasal drip whilst being on this trial. I thought it was taxol causing it but I stopped chemo at the end of October and I've still got it. Im still on the trial drug.
