Prostate cancer has many treatment options with different side effects. Your advocate explains surgery versus radiation versus hormone therapy, helps you understand effects on urinary and sexual function, and ensures decisions align with your priorities. They provide unbiased information for personal decisions.
Low-risk prostate cancer may not need immediate treatment. Your advocate coordinates regular PSA monitoring and biopsies, helps you understand when treatment becomes necessary, and manages the anxiety of living with untreated cancer. They support safe surveillance when appropriate.
Prostate cancer treatment often affects urination and sexual function. Your advocate connects you with pelvic floor therapy, coordinates erectile dysfunction treatments, and ensures side effects are addressed. They help maintain quality of life during and after treatment.

With Solace, you get both a patient advocate and a supporting physician, which we refer to as your “care team”.
Your advocate will be there to manage the day to day aspects of your care: coordinating with doctors, researching potential solutions and communicating updates to you.
Your supporting physician can unlock resources for you and your advocate that might otherwise be out of reach.
Tests like Decipher or Oncotype DX help predict prostate cancer aggressiveness and guide treatment. Solace advocates coordinate genomic testing of biopsy samples, help interpret risk scores and recommendations, and ensure results inform treatment decisions. They navigate insurance coverage for expensive tests, coordinate second opinions on results, and ensure personalized risk assessment. Your advocate helps tailor treatment to your specific cancer.
Newer treatments for advanced prostate cancer combine hormone therapy with other drugs for better outcomes. Solace advocates navigate options like abiraterone or enzalutamide upfront, coordinate combination therapy protocols, and manage complex side effects. They ensure access to life-extending treatments, monitor for resistance development, and coordinate imaging for treatment response. Your advocate maximizes benefits from evolving treatment standards.
Treatments like HIFU or cryotherapy can treat part of the prostate, potentially preserving function. Solace advocates research focal therapy availability, coordinate evaluation for candidacy, and help weigh benefits versus standard treatment. They find experienced focal therapy providers, ensure appropriate follow-up monitoring, and manage insurance challenges. Your advocate explores options between surveillance and whole-gland treatment.
After prostate cancer treatment, long-term monitoring and managing late effects require ongoing coordination. Solace advocates establish PSA monitoring schedules, coordinate imaging for biochemical recurrence, and address late radiation or surgical effects. They manage testosterone recovery decisions, coordinate bone health monitoring, and ensure comprehensive survivorship care. Your advocate provides long-term support beyond initial treatment.
