I am interested in the Tulsa, I was told insurance does not cover it and it is a 30k procedure. I have decided to remove the prostate based on that, although this post gives me hope. I have an appointment next week at mayo jacksonville with the surgeon that does the tulsa, I think I will submit it to insurance and see what happens. I pray all goes well for you and your journey. Thank you for sharing your info.

I live in Orlando but I am looking at the TULSA procedure and Mayo Jacksonville. Can you please share your experience there so far? How long you waited to get an appt and who you saw there?

I've done a lot of research on all of the various prostate removal procedures I could find. I read about surgery first hoping there was something better. I was leaning towards MRI Guided radiation, but the company that made the machine went out of business. There are still operable machine that can do the MRI Radiation procedure . If I hadnt been a Tulsa candidate, then I would have chose that. Then I found the Tulsa Procedure. From what I've read, it offers the the best odds for the least number of side effects, but all of the side effects are still possible. I can't say I'm looking forward to the treatment, but today I feel it's the best option. Thanks for feed back and best of luck.
