I'm 78 and had a Gleason score of 7 4+3 and PSA climbed to 7.5. My Dr. told me I had a 100% chance to live 5 more years doing nothing and 85% chance to live 10 more years doing nothing. But during those years how much would I suffer from spreading cancer before it took me? I chose to have the TULSA PRO procedure and relieve the worry of cancer spreading. I'm in good health and am active. If I was in ill health and unable to do the things I like doing my choice may have been to do nothing. The Dr. told me that all the cancer was ablated. The treatment was easy and painless with no anticancer medication. I return in March for PSA test and followup. I feel good about my decision and hopefully the cancer won't return.

I am 66 years old and chose Tulsa Pro in July 2024 at Mayo Clinic Rochester. Just had my six month MRI and it shows no sign of cancer. PSA dropped from 8.6 to 0.96. My radiologist says my results are excellent. As bobbygene stated, the procedure was painless and I have had zero side effects. An added benefit is I only have to get up one time a night to pee!
