Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I agree that Chuck Maack is a voice of experience. The shock of a PCa diagnosis is often followed by the realization that the medical profession expects you to educate yourself on all possible treatments and choose one yourself. Living with the fuzzy outlook of a statin saturated body, clear thinking requires much effort. Locating resources such as this support blog takes time and happenstance. The doctors know their stuff, but finding the omsbudsman who will guide you through the choices is difficult. Regards, T We would like to express our appreciation for Chuck Maack and the expertise he so generously shows to not only our family but to many who are uncertain how to navigate the inevitable confusion caused by differing opinions, differing protocols, as well as different countries and their method of treatment. His input is invaluable, as is his experience and encouragement. I also appreciated the attachment yesterday about "A Woman's Tears."Thankful for this group,Lenore and "3D," stage VI metastatic prostate cancer.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hi Chuck,I personally think you are extremely knowledgeable and fantastic, for "ALL the help and advise" that you have unselfishly given anybody and everybody who has ever asked for it.I also think you would agree that tm. poxon has some VERY valid points, with one of the biggest being that the doctors expect you, as an uneducated person in prostate cancer, to pick what "you" think is the best treatment, after they rattle off a bunch of medical terms, that leave you petrified, scared stiff, with no doubt in your mind that this is the big one, and you are about to roll a seven and life as you know it, will never be the same.I have the best insurance, and medical coverage that one could have, I owned many businesses, ex-Marine, etc. but yet, I was 'NEVER' so scared or confused in my life, as when I left the doctors office, after an hour visit, when he said, you have prostate cancer.That was 11 years ago, and now it looks like it's back.PSA 17--doubling time 18 months, recent bone and cat scan clear, no pain etc., seeing a prostate cancer onco,--but I must tell you, after all the books I've read, and reading this support group's messages every day, I would have to say that the way the medical profession handles the average prostate cancer patient, leaves a whole lot to be desired, and then some!!Chuck, thank you for all your caring and hard workYour cyber friendBob G I agree that Chuck Maack is a voice of experience.
