Dr. Generro Carpinito started out taling up surgery and its successes. However, after we discussed the facts of my particular case he backed off. My previous heart surgery, current emphesema (moderate), and my age make me a less than desirable candidate for surgery. He concurred with my Dr. Curran that EBRT and ADT are the best course for me. It was worth the trip into the city. My only question now, when I go back to see Dr. Curran on the 29th is regarding the feasibility of EBRT, Seeds and ADT. Has anyone had any experience with that course of therapy? Tomorrow I go back for a re-do of the Pelvic MRI. Apparently, there was " movement " during the procedure. I'll have a little discussion with the Tech prior to the test since I wasn't aware of any significan movement on my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
