I received proton radiation treatments at Siteman (Mar -May 2022) and discontinued ADT in Sept 2023. So far, blood tests are good -- PSA is undetectable, Test is almost undectable at 5, but so far "performance" has also been undetectable. Hoping someone here can recommend an urologist for this at Wash U vs me rolling the dice on the "Find a Doc" website.

Thanks to everyone for all the assistance, recommendations, and encouragement here for the past 2+ years!

Sounds good!

I don't know if he's retired yet, but I had my RALP at Barnes 9 years ago this week with Dr. Figenshau. He's certainly among the best in the business IMO.

Halbert, I do recall you mentioning him in the past and looked him up at the Wash U website. When I viewed his profile it appeared his primary area of treatment was surgery. Are you aware if his practice extends into the area of ED treatment?

IsItSerious,

Honestly, I don't know. What I recall is that he did emphasize that ED recovery was an important overall part of his post treatment concern. Whether he, or someone else in his office, actually took care of issues there is something I don't know. It wouldn't hurt to call his office and ask.
