We had a great time at your conference in NY. Thanks for putting on the show. I know it take a LOT of work. The hat is off, maestro!
To be continued ...

I would appreciate to hear your opinions.

Here's the case I laid on Arnon to think about.
"Look, you're a urologic oncologist. I'm a 46-year-old Black male merchant banker. I'm worth millions. My grandfather died of prostate cancer and my father had his prostate out in 1995 at 62 with a PSA of 2.7, T1c disease, and Gleason 3 + 4 which was confirmed post surgery. He's still alive but he gripes daily about the fact that they couldn't spare his nerve bundles (or rather they did but it didn't make a damn bit of difference).
"My PSA has been stable at 0.5 to 0.7 ng/ml for 6 years. So I'm asking you. Why wouldn't I take finasteride and monitor my PSA? Gimme an answer for heaven's sake! i live in a world where people have to make decisions and take risks ... fast!"
He's still thinking about it two days later!
If I actually meet this fictitious character, I'll let him know you need a big donation for The Prostate Net! :O)
