Tulsa Pro - my initial treatment experience

Thank you for your quick reply. I am going to complete the paperwork for the York facility and see what the Doctor says and go from there. I don't have an issue traveling if that is what it takes. My Prolaris came back with a recommendation of both Hormone therapy and Radiation and I don't want to do that. If I were going to do radiation it would be Proton and I may do PAE to shrink my prostate first so it is easier all the way around. What I found confusing is they state Tulsa is a BPH treatment as well as cancer so why they can't do both is startling. Did your prostate shrink in size after the treatment?

Definitely with Scionti it is a 2 for 1 treatment, if some place says they would do one or the other it is about somebodies training probably. Somebody might not have the training to do the cancer part officially or something, could by about what they are board certified in, or Tulsa training, or any other aspect like that. I have not had my 1 year MRI for a size but I should have lost about 60 to 75% of size, though keep in mind the same forces that cause BPH can still be in place. Scionti is in an easy and nice place to travel to, outside hurricane season.
