Everyone has their preferred treatment and opinions on the matter. Whichever you think you want to go with, be it prostatectomy or Tulsa Pro or anything else, please do more than anecdotal research and the advice of strangers on a forum. Please consult doctors who don't have a pony in the race and make decisions with all the information to base them upon. When deep diving use Google Scholar rather than just Google, filter out the endless shills out there that are paid by companies to promote their solution and get right to the evidence, research and white papers.

Remember that this is your life. None of us want the side effects, quite literally nobody. But find the option that has proven results after 5, 10, 15, 20 years - not 5, 10, 24 months. It's awfully tempting to latch on to the path of least resistance, and want to be on the cutting edge of this and that might work absolutely wonderfully for you, or it may not. Be your OWN advocate. Dig deep, get the right answer that applies you and your long term goals.

You nailed it 5280! A true deep dive in support of your research as well as in support of what specialists prescribe is the best course of action.
