Welcome to New Member Bob Erickson   Message List

Welcome to Bob Erickson, who was lucky enough to have started his application process some time ago, and now has an appointment at LLUMC.  He says:
"I have PCa, Gleason 9, and PSA 8. Scans were negative. I am going to LLMC March 11 for consultation and possible treatment.
Bob Erickson Las Cruces, NM"

I privately asked Bob to tell me what he knew or could find out about the current delays at Loma Linda, and he provided this to me today:

"One of the patients I talked to that was there last month said they were not taking new prostate patients until they caught up. When It talked to [a doctor's nurse] a month ago she said the time between consultation and treatment was 5 to 6 weeks. When I talked to her last Friday she said 1 to 3 weeks, so maybe they are clearing out the backlog. I will find out what I can and let you know."

This sounds very encouraging!!

Fuller
