If he was just a week ago, they had the prostate nodule.
Within a week, they did the biopsy and they got the disease.
So very quickly, within one week, based on the story that they're telling,
They've been able to do this staging part and find out if the cancer is spread to the bone or not.
But you have to give the injections and see if the patient responds.
We don't know what his PSA is.
If the PSA starts to go down, then that's when you know that he's hormonal sensitive.
I don't know how they will be able to give all of this information from diagnosis to treatment to all of that within one week.
The story doesn't make any sense.
Good to be with you, Megan. It's a pleasure and a congratulation on all the success of your show. It's good to be with you.
I think it's less likely. I think the better story and the fact is that probably he's had this for many years. We know that about a year ago, his physicians, they basically gave him the clear bill of health that he's in good physical shape and there are no issues. And typically this kind of like prostate cancer, stage four prostate cancer doesn't show up in within one year.
He probably has had it for many years. Given the importance of his job,
a consortium of doctors take care of these presidents i've had multiple presidents in my practice that i've taken care of and it's not always one doctor there are multiple doctors they go through very aggressive screening uh psa digital rectal exams and you know it's very unlikely that he just was diagnosed now and with metastases Yes.
If you're in third world countries where there are no PSA screenings, we see people coming in with PSAs of 100, 150. That's a different story. But in America, with our health care system, given his position, it's practically almost impossible to see someone show up with stage four Gleason 9 metastasis to bone within a year. That's unheard of.
And I certainly in 25 years of my career, I've never seen it.
Correct. These are very aggressive cancers. Typically, if you look at the past 10, 15 years of his PSA, they gradually climb up, even though the PSA is not always the most specific test, but you will see a rise. There would be some symptoms when it comes to these aggressive prostate cancers. Typically, prostate cancer is asymptomatic.
But they would have some vague symptoms of urinary issues, getting up in the middle of the night, sometimes even blood in the semen, etc. Obviously, he's 82 years old. And over 50% of men over the age of 80 will have prostate cancer if you diagnose them. The problem with him is that he has a very aggressive Gleason 9. Now, the worst is Gleason 10. So this is up there.
And the fact that it has metastasized, either in the first scenario, it was completely missed, which is hard to imagine, or it was not reported at a time of diagnosis many years ago, and they're just reporting the metastases. Or this story, I think there are more questions than answers, given what we see today with the type of cancer that he has. It doesn't make sense.
That certainly is one possibility, that's for sure. But the timing of this and the fact that it was just released now is very strange and odd. Now, the treatments are obviously very, very difficult.
As you know, Megan, if I would have met him about 10 years ago when this cancer was just localized within prostate cancer, with our technology of robotic surgery, we could have saved his life with possibility of radiation afterwards if he needs it. Now that the cancer is spread to the bone, the prognosis is poor.
