That might be the best way to go! It sounds like a slow version of prostate cancer?Now that I've taken more time to review the patient guidelines and apply DHs circumstances to it, one might consider a third option: observe.
That is the preferred recommendation for patients with a life expectancy less than 10 years.
The average life expectancy for an AD patient is 8-10 years after diagnosis. DH was diagnosed 3.5 years ago and he was already in the early moderate stage. However, some can live for 20 years.
Now what?
I think I'm going to talk with his neurologist and then again with his urologist before making a final decision.
