Invitation by Dr K
Would you help us grow the network? Would you tell others about it?
Sure
About Me:
Dr K's #13 surgery :>)

I was very lucky and asked my doctor (not a urologist) for a DRE even though I had a PSA of 1.5 ng/ml. He found a nodule and referred me to a urologist who in turn did a biopsy showing several cores of Gleason 6. After doing research I found Dr. K via an article in the Miami Herald and had it removed. The lab work indicated a final pathology as not having spread and a Gleason 3+4=7. That was almost eight years ago in 2000. Just had a PSA taken in May and still showing <0.1 ng/ml. Delete Comment

Hey Jack - your friend should be going for his biopsy soon. Let me know how that goes and what he decides to do. Hope you're well.

Jack - how's your friend? What treatment did he decide on?

Same for us. The insurance only covered the hospital - none of surgeon costs. Fortunately, I had taken out a cancer policy with AFLAC years ago and it paid quite a bit. Friends found out and sent support as well. Tell him not to give up on the possibility. Maybe there is a way to finance the cost. I just know that Dr.K is the best and if there's any way to make it happen I hope he will. Keep us updated on what he decides to do.
