    I am receiving care from Cedars because Dr. Sandler is there as a highly trained (Radiological, Oncological, Urological) specialist); a powerful life saving combination of skills for someone who is undergoing long term ADT, successfully supported by radiation of sequential bone metathesis. All other doctors support my efforts to say alive especially my Oncologist, but radiation remains central to slowing the progression and spread of my cancer....Period. So ask any question about scheduling etc.It all means very little as long as I have access to Dr. Sandler and his team to 'whack a met".
