Thank you. Excellent response! As with any procedure like TULSA-PRO, it will take time to create the large amount of data that RP &RT have. But it will come. As part of my TULSA-PRO procedure at Mayo I agreed to be a member of a study group initiated by Dr. Woodrum so that this kind of information can be gathered. And you're correct, that folks who have TULSA-PRO procedures still have functioning prostates producing PSA. For me, this is part of that journey. I've gone through several decades of watching my PSA vary over time while steadily increasing, until I hit a level where action needed to be taken to ascertain what's going on. I will live that journey again, but at least I'm familiar with it, combined with the realization that prostate cancer is generally slow growing and one usually has time to react and treat before it becomes a real threat. As with any treatment for this disease, we end up balancing treatment effectiveness with side effects/quality of life. At age 78, quality of life was important to me. And if I have 10-15 years of life remaining, maybe this treatment will allow me the best chance for that quality of life......or maybe not. And if it should be maybe not, I still have all of the other options available to me but for RP, which wasn't available initially either. And I have optimism that in the next 5-10 years even better treatments will become available should I need them. That was my rationale coupled with my understanding that biological reoccurrence rates are about the same (15-20%) no matter the treatment. I've paid my money, and taken my chances........... 🙂 I hope I do so wisely. We shall see..........
