Guest guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 , Unfortunately this article is written with a much more political bent. The reality is that no matter what system we have the movement has been toward rationing. We have all heard of people who have to pay out of pocket for proton therapy but not if they have Medicare, the public program, and waits for that treatment are often significant if someone chooses to go to Loma . How many people have complained that they have to wait for and appointment with a specialist or they have had to fight with their insurance for their preferred treatment or physician. Under Medicare the public program they do not limit the physician you can see. Even with insurance, out of pocket costs can be extreme and we have an unacceptable number of people who have no insurance. Cost of healthcare is out of control and our program has not lead to necessarily better outcomes. Something has to give. I have attached information on two of the programs that are being considered. How would you suggest amending these programs or what alternative would you suggest? Rather than getting into a discussion of politics, it would be helpful if we read the proposed legislation and speak up to our legislators about what we want to see as part of reform. It s not appropriate on this list to take partisan stances. The discussion that is happening reminds me of discussions about which treatment is the “best” treatment. We all know that the best way to approach these issues is to read as much as we can from as many sources as we can, including as many source documents as possible. Then we can make a determination that is educated and not overly influenced by voices from either the right or the left.

I joined this group a couple years ago when I had BPH but had not been diagnosed with cancer. Now I have been. In a nutshell, I'm 64, married, have a Gleason score of 6 with a 67% chance that the cancer is still only in the prostate. Out of 12 biopsies, only a small part of one is malignant, although it's on the bottom of the prostate. I was ready to sign up for brachytherapy until we spent time with the radiological oncologist yesterday. External radiation seems to be an acceptable alternative, although I understand that if it doesn't work, it can't be done again. I've pretty much ruled out surgery, but I don't know how aggressive to be in my treatment. I was also on testosterone therapy for several months, so it seems ironic that the emphasis now is on removing the testosterone that I know can be feeding the cancer but seemed so important before. Any great thoughts re: radiation now, either internal or external, vs. waiting to see what happens? I have minimal health coverage now and will be on Medicare in six months, so I don't know if there's an advantage one way or the other in terms of coverage. I'm terribly concerned about the prospect of socialized medicine lowering our standard of treatment precipitously. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Thank you, . I'm afraid it did not allay my concerns, but thanks nonetheless. I don't want to inject politics into a mutual support site, but I'm afraid I'm still terribly concerned.

Hi: I've studied the testosterone issue considerably, and I have still not found any studies that can prove that testosterone "feeds the cancer". As a matter of fact there are studies that prove the opposite. For several years I've had LOW testosterone but I still got cancer. Bye Emile A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
