Hey jcf, Glad you are doing well. A buddy of mine was just diagnosed Gleason 4+3 unfavorable; the tumor is very close to the rectum.
He’s consulted with RO’s and surgeons; he has consult next week at Sloan for some sort of focal therapy. I told him to look into TulsaPro since you and others seem pleased with your results.
He’s in NY and would have to travel to Mayo Jacksonville; any particular doctor he should arrange a consult with? The position of the tumor seems to be the wild card in all this. Many Thanks!
Phil

When it is near the rectum, HIFU is an alternative option that uses the same technology as Tulsa, so that person can look up HIFU providers plus Tulsa providers. Only trouble is if they have significant BPH they won't use HIFU. But HIFU would be the additional option when lesion is near rectum.
