That sounds encouraging. I spoke to a UCLA radiologist who recommended full ablation for me. He likes and uses "temporary interstitial brachytherapy" where they insert a bunch of radioactive needles temporarily to destroy the prostate. It's like the seed implants but without seeds and is completed in one or 2 sessions. I'm not a big fan of that idea, but he claims great success with it. I have a video appointment set for the 20th. with a UCLA Urologist. We'll see what he has to say. I'm still leaning toward Tulsa, but feel I have time. My Decipher results came back, I have a slow growing version of the cancer. Best of luck with your PSA levels. Keep us updated.
