Hey @gshep

A Western Radiation Oncology doctor. I think Dr. Ankit Agarwal will perform the procedure. (https://westernradiationoncology.com/about-us/ankit-agarwal/). They have other doctors and use other radiation treatments as well. The big advantage they have is the hundreds of brachytherapy procedures they perform each year. That expertise is necessary to perform the procedure effectively. They book operating room time at medical centers throughout California and also the one I’m scheduled at in Phoenix. In my case, I forwarded all my prostate reports to them and had a video consult with Dr. Agarwal. After determining that my cancer was a fit for ldr brachytherapy they scheduled me for the first available slot which was at the Arizona medical center (they can usually get you in 3-4 weeks out). I’m flying down the day before and home the day after. You would need to check with your insurance to see if they would cover them. I have a Medicare Advantage plan that allows using out of network providers. If yours doesn’t you might be able to talk them into it since it’s just as effective and way cheaper than any surgery or beam radiation options. Of course paying out of pocket is also an option and could possibly be less than copays for other more expensive procedures. All I did was email them to get the ball rolling. Best wishes for a long and fruitful journey.
