Going for Tulsa Pro

I had TULSA in November and returned for follow up March 4. I had labs done at the VA two weeks ago and PSA was 0.88. OU checked my PSA on Mar. 4 and it was 0.7. Before the procedure it was around 10. Dr. Stratton was very pleased and told me it couldn't get any better. My only side effect is dry orgasm. Erection is about like it was before the procedure. Dr. wrote a prescription for Viagra. I go back in June for an MRI. I'm very happy with my decision to go with TULSA PRO.

Awesome!! With results like ours I think the Tulsa Procedure will become the default choice for prostate cancer isolated to the prostate. Hoping my results turn out as good as yours.

I am hoping to use the TULSA treatment, if I qualify. And I am also a veteran with full VA benefits. I am not looking for the VA to fund the treatment. I could not find any information within the VA Libraries or even doctors who were familiar with TULSA or a POC .... so with the lack of transparency and red tape at the VA to discuss the issue of TULSA treatment. I am going to decide the "when and where" and my insurances will cover the cost. However I don't know if VA needs to have input... Could you provide me any type of POC or even a reference of the VA's opinion?
