I considered all of those as well, best of luck to you.

You should ask for a Prostox test by MiraDx. This test tells you if you will have any Grade 2 or higher GU long term issues after SBRT treatment. Some Drs don't know what this test is, but Mayo Jax gave me the order when we were consider SBRT. Mine came back that I was at a 95% change of having long term GU issues at or above Grade 2. I also looked at IRE (NanoKnife) but was told I am not a good candidate because my tumor measurers 2.2 cm, too large. So I am going to do TULSA PRo instead. My tumor is in the transition zone so it makes me a great candidate for TULSA Pro. They said I was a textbook patient for it. Let's pray it works long term for me.
