Description

If your spouse is a male over 40 this a program that both husband and wife should listen to together. Dr. Cesar Ercole is a member of the James A Haley VA hospital staff and a surgeon specializing in Urology. In this program he discussed prostate problems, warning signs and treatment options. This highly trained and very capable physician will tell you a variety of things that you may never here talking with a physician in the for-profit medicine world.   Over the years I have interviewed some of the top specialists in the field of prostate cancer and each leaned toward treating it with their discipline. Surgeons thought surgery was the best option, Radiologist of course leaned toward radiation. However, at the VA they have an array of treatments available without the profit motive to push one over the other. So, if you have prostate problems which is best for you? Listening to this broadcast will leave you better educated to make a treatment choice and it may be no treatment at all. That’s called watchful waiting and is indeed a good option for many older patients. Listening to what Dr. Ercole has to say may well save your life of that of someone you love.  Don't forget when you listen to SUBSCRIBE so you will not miss any of our programs dedicated to sharing information you need as a veteran or the family of a veteran.
