Jeff, thanks you SO much for this reply. You’ve hit on exactly what I was thinking so it’s great to have a confirmation of that. I do plan on connecting with Mayo in Phoenix area as that is closest to me. Great new info to me on choices other than surgery or radiation. I’ll get studying for sure. Next Tuesday for the scan can’t come fast enough for me. Thanks again. Jay

If you go to Mayo in Phoenix there is a Hope Lodge in North Phoenix that is operated by the American Cancer Society. You can stay free while getting treatment. My local urologist gave me two options which was radical surgery or beam radiation. I did research and found many better treatments but they are usually located in larger metropolitan areas. I traveled fours away to get my TULSA PRO treatment. I stayed at a Hope Lodge in OKC. They are wonderful and caring and there is no charge. I'm 5 days post treatment and doing really well. I'll have a catheter until Dec. 3rd. when I go back to have it removed. I called Hope Lodge and have a room for one night after the drive. Do your research and be proactive. Waiting is a torment. I wish good things for you.
