I feel as though I have been left in limbo. I stopped taking my cancer meds in Dec. Nothing has been scheduled until 3/25. I was unable to participate in the clinical study because I was diagnosed with an infection. Since then, not much has happened.

Again, no one has explained the test results and their meaning. Also, I would like to know if Huntsman does "regional perfusion radiotherapy" done by other clinics in the U.S. I would also like to know what supplemental, alternative and/or natural treatments are worth trying.

After almost a full day of tests, Dr. Agarwal spent less than 5 minutes with me. He told me that I didn't need to come back unless my PSA increased. He told me that if I had any questions I could call his nurse, Julia Batten, APRN, who did spend time reviewing one test that I had that day. I also find it interesting that no "Notes" or "Visit Summary" appear in My Chart as of today from either Dr. Agarwal nor Julia Batten. Dr. Agarwal does not appear on my lisrt of providers.

My questions and concerns were answered. The PA and Doctor assured me that my concerns were valid but were due to a lack of understanding of the process. I was provided the risk benefit analysis of my treatment, my questions were answered, and my wife and I discussed the options and a decision was made. Both PA and Doctor were very understanding and patient with our questions and answered them fully in terms my wife and I were able to comprehend.
