  4 years ago a doctor told me I had prostate cancer. He was going to do the random biopsy. I refused and fought for the MPMRI. Good thing, over the years where I had, had hernia surgeries, the mesh had come out and migrated into the prostate, uretha tube and the sigmoid colon. After a 6 hour surgery to remove and repair all this, psa levels came down, I got well. Lesson, ALWAYS ask questions, and do your own research. You are the only person living in the body you got, and you know it better than any doctor.

  Dr. Scholz is the only Urologist I've met that I respect. Diamond in fields of rough.

  Based of what I can see and hear, it seems to me , (maybe I am wrong ) that people are rushing into surgery , especially in the UK, when they hear Gleason 7 ( 3+4; 4+3), it seems kind of a radical decision

  I’m an internist. This guy is spot on. I’m going to save this for my patients.

  1) Twelve years ago, a Urologist decided that I have prostate cancer and I should schedule a surgery. But I did nothing. 2) Two years later, I went to another urologist who told me that I just have a large prostate and gave me some medications. 3) Two years later, I went to another Urologist who told me that I have a low-grade prostate cancer, and I need to go to him a couple of times a year for monitoring. 4) Four years after that another Urologist told me that my prostate cancer has become aggressive and I should schedule a surgery. 5) Two years after that another Urologist advised that I should at least have Hormon Therapy. I finally gave in and started on Hormon therapy. 6) Last year, another urologist advised that I should have radiation but not hormon therapy. 7) This year an Oncologist tells me that I should have radiation together with hormon therapy...  I am now on Hormon therapy - because my wife insisted that I should do it -  and am hesitant about Radiation therapy. Except for going to bathroom, 2 or 3 times a night, I have not seen any other symptoms or problems. I am now 84 and do not want to live beyond the age of 90. I am told my Gleason score is 9. With this background, should I do a) surgery, b) radiation, c) Hormon therapy, or d) none of the above - because there is no clear-cut answers plus I do not want to live beyond my 90th birthday?! My PSA ranged between 3 to 9 during these years, but it went back to less than 1 since I began the Hormon therapy.

  Thank you so much! I can&apos;t tell you how much bad information I have received from urologists over the years. I am so happy that I didn&apos;t pull the trigger on treatment with Gleason 6. You are doing a true service to humanity.

  By far, the most credible source of information on prostate cancer. I&apos;ve watched numerous YouTube videos on the subject, but I can&apos;t recall any other website. Both Alex and Dr. Scholz are incredibly enthusiastic, dedicating substantial effort to providing global awareness. Cheers from Sydney, Australia!
