Thx for your note. I am definitely in the TULSA PRO camp. I could not get an initial appt until late August, so maybe other folks are catching on to a good alternative.

I was diagnosed in March of 2024. I wasn't able to have the TULSA-PRO procedure until October of 2024. I believe you have time. The other piece of advice I took to heart from others like Dr. Scholz of PCRI was to take one's time in reaching a decision especially in our cases of favorable intermediate risk. He went on to say a 6 month delay had no negative impact on long term results. Back in the day when surgery was the standard of care, patients had to wait this long or longer to get access to a surgeon trained to do the procedure. Seems they had plenty of data supporting this claim of no negative impact.
