No catheter used by Dr. Katz at Flushing Radiation either....
Hoping, I had a similar experience with CK and Gleason 3+4. I had Gleason 6 at diagnosis and was on active surveillance for 5 years before any progression. During that time I had researched things...
I have posted previously regarding my decision to pursue Active Surveillance 5 years ago, some progression of the disease earlier this year, and my decision thereafter to end active surveillance and...
If nothing changes, I'm scheduled to be in Flushing NY with Dr. Katz next Monday, the 11th, to do preliminaries, and then do the 5 Cyberknife treatments beginning the following Monday, the 18th. It...
