Thanks for your response . As I noted: I have yet to find an unhappy NanoKnife patient .
What was your Gleason score at the time of your procedure ? And were you on Active Surveillance or any other medications prior ? Finally , what was the location of your tumor and your prostate volume .
Keep healthy .

My MRI noted two lesions; both with a PI-RADS of 4. The volume of my prostate was 41cc. Both lesions were in the anterior location of the prostate. My Gleason score was 3+4=7. The tissue from my biopsy was sent for the Decipher test, which came back as low risk. Active Surveillance was an option for me, but because one of the tumors abutted the edge of the prostate, I didn't want to run the risk of it spreading. I had no cancer medications prior to the NanoKnife procedure.

Hoping and praying for the best outcome for everyone!
