Another well executed session on The Future Of Active Surveillance. Dr. Klotz is correct about the constrained use of MRI in Canada as well as the benefits of micro-ultrasound as a complimentary diagnostic tool. Change will not come without more patient advocacy so much work to be done on this file. The only place one even hears about tools like micro-ultrasound is through support groups or if you happen to be connected....lousy for health equity!!!
Anthony, thanks. AS and its trappings are not available everywhere especially in the US. The situation is tricky for Black men who are not supported within their communities and amongst doctors. Thanks for carrying the standard. Howard
Break you are due, God are you due! Today's 2 hours is the only path forward! Yes, lectures by the expert empowering, but hearing Klotz-I believe-respond to fear of hidden malignancy reduced to 3% through protocol my own doc mocks, feeding off one another, patient, clinician and researcher alike, presents such promise that it surprises me when you comment this has been a dream of you and others for 5 years. Sounds, again, like personalities got in the way, same personalities we all got to for medical care or worse, the very organizations we pay money to to tell us straight. While ecstatic of the results of your efforts and others, the 50% trouble me, reflective of a failure at, yes, oh God, don't make me say, marketing. No matter a man's leaning, any male in attendance today left empowered, better posed as a consumer as he surely viewed, to shoulder "his" cancer. Gloat, Howard; you earned it times over! If no ASPI, ANCAN and "The Active Surveillor", what a different world.
Very well done meeting in the old days Crawford and Klotz would have got into a heated discussion and Albertson would be the voice of reason look how far we have come
Many organizations have ignored the AS community. We don't make them money. They don't recognize that many AS patients eventually will become their patients. They need to look at the community as a whole.
