Along with full pelvic IMRT, I was given a 2 year sentence of Orgovyx & Nubeqa for my Gleason 4+3 PCa with spread to a pelvic lymph node (I have other risk factors including large cribriform and IDC). I have only one more month left. My PSA went undetectable quickly and has remained so the entire time of my ADT treatment.

I’m meeting with my medical oncologist tomorrow. What questions should I ask? Some that occur to me are: getting a second DEXA scan, when should I get another PMSA PET scan, should future PSA tests be ultra precise, at what point should an increasing PSA score concern me, should I get other quarterly blood tests, should I continue taking supplements like calcium and vitamin D? Any others I’m missing?

I’m also getting the results of a recent Tempus blood draw to get genomic info and other fingerprints of my cancer to determine next steps if/when my cancer returns.

I had an online transaction on my Venture MC declined due to suspected fraud and my account was suspended until I could send my last three most recent bank statements. My progress:

--Bank statements sent (from my Fidelity Cash Management account)

--Statements rejected because the statements were labeled as Investment Reports

--Called Fidelity to ask for a letter to send to C1 saying these ARE bank statements

--Fidelity said they can't do that but the fine print on these reports says STATEMENTS over 10 times

--Sent email to richard.fairbank@capitalone.com with this information and screenshots of the fine print, asking them to remove suspension

--C1 called my husband's phone twice (once while I was out, the other at 6am my time which went to voicemail

--I called C1 back and they said my credit was revoked due to their inability to complete a verification. I told them that's why I'm calling them back; they said sorry, it's too late.

I also have 89K miles in suspension as well as an inability to use this account. What are my next steps? More C1 escalation? CFPB complaint? Thank you kind Redditors.

EDIT: C1 called back and gave us a “final answer” of denial since our Fidelity statements were from an investment institution, not a financial institution. I mean, come on. CFPB complaint coming.

I’ll be on the Lakes Route from St Margrethen to Lausanne next month and no doubt will have a need to lock my bike for a few minutes while stopping at Migros/Coop for picnic supplies. I have a 500g folding lock but I’d like to take something more lightweight like a Hiplock Z Lok or similar. Would this be sufficient or should I bring my more secure folding lock?

Dr E is now the head of GU medical oncology at OHSU in Portland. I am considering transferring my care there, as my very high risk PCa with a Decipher score of 0.97 and pTEN deficit means I am at risk for recurrence. I am 63 and live in WA state so OHSU will be out of network for two years until I am on Medicare. But I’m OK with that.

Any experience with Dr E at Houston Methodist or MD Anderson?

I bought the version of the above with a plastic bit holder but no wallet or pouch to hold wrench and bits together. I’m sure there is a cheaper, smaller pouch out there than the $20 official version. Maybe a slim pouch with little elastic pockets on each side? Ideas?
