I agree with @heavyphil. A third opinion does not hurt. Here is the name plus info of one of the 5 that I got an opinion from. He is at Memorial Sloan Kettering and did a telehealth for me:

Hey Bens1, Dr Nagar is great. I consulted with him 6 yrs ago when he was at Weil Cornell. He was one of the few RO’s using the Meridian system for SBRT , which I think you had, right?
He was very confident that he could treat my case, but I opted for surgery since the technology was still fairly new. I owned a few thousand shares of stock in the company, lost $$, but sold before they went bankrupt😂.
This MRI guided treatment is fantastic IMO and much better than Cyberknife because of less marginal tissue damage. It would be an excellent choice for @bluegill since NO fiducials are necessary and the remaining tumor tissue can be destroyed with no excess radiation to the already irradiated gland.
