May I ask how was your experience with Tulsa and where did you have it done? I am Gleason 4-3 and looking for options. Tulsa looks interesting

I was Gleason 4+3 and I did Tulsa Pro last July at Rochester Mayo. My PSA went from 8.6 to 0.68 at three months. My PSA at nine months was also .68. My MRI at six months was clear. At this point I’m very happy with my choice. The low risk of side effects and the fact that all other treatment options are still on the table if the cancer returns sold me on it. You can read all my comments and description of my experience if you click on my profile.

Dr Scionti in Sarasota is where I had Tulsa Pro done, one can stay in an AirBnB or similar if you go to a place like that. You can sort through this thread that I started, but it got kind of big with some side discussions that is all good of course, but you can sort through it for info:

My recent MRI is clear of anything suspicious cancer wise, but I do still have some BPH. For BPH Tulsa sometimes helps for the short term sometimes not for the long term, but cancer is the important one and Tulsa so far so good on that.
