Actually I intentionally did not restrict my discussions to surgeons, and even the radiation oncologist also said the same thing, despite having read multiple times on forums that "surgeons only recommend surgery, oncologists only recommend radiation". But, I also did my own research on the matter and have read some very large studies which confirmed their concerns. I'm glad it worked for you and I'm sure it's worked for other men as well, but it's a little too experimental for me unless my last medical oncologist (who has no pony in the race) from MD Anderson tells me to reconsider.

Well good luck, as we all can see Mayo is doing Tulsa now, and I would take their thoughts over MD Anderson myself. Because many see traditionalists are reluctant to adopt this has spurred a big opportunity for interventional radiology. A big interventional radiology group near me just started offering Tulsa this month, we are going to see a real lot of that next year because it has been slow in urology practices to adopt but the big ones are, and now interventional radiology groups will be big into it. Just how it is going due to the built in reluctance we all see and hear... and I mean we all talk to 4 or 5 uro + rad docs, this is real common, so nothing new heard there (and yes they are still our docs for two years when we opt for other options). Some uro practices are buying in now and that is good, but interventional radiology is going faster since you need MRI's and all.
