Over the course of several years, Kashefii ordered a series of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests. She never told me (she may never have even looked) but THREE TIMES she failed to tell me that the results where well above normal, and even the first test should have resulted in her ordering a biopsy. Two urologists have confirmed that she should have ordered a biopsy. I now have Stage IVb metastatic prostate cancer that's spread to my bones and lymph nodes. My odds of surviving five years are roughly 30% thanks to Kashefi's neglect. I filed a complaint with the state recently because of this. The investigation process is a long one, but I'm hoping it results in her losing her license. She has no business practicing medicine.
