Would this situation be a candidate for Tulsa pro/ablation since it is localized? And treat Bph independently?

It likely is a candidate for Tulsa Pro. Tulsa is used for BPH and/or cancer. A few guys on this forum have had it done on prostates larger than 84cc for their cancer and the BPH reduction was a bonus.

@billfarm
I am not familiar with Tulsa Pro/ablation. I see it mentioned many times but since did not have it or ever recommended to me can't give any information on it.

Wish I could help with the questions as would like to know myself. I am 2 years out from my radiation treatments. I do have some drippling and increased urgency on urination. R/O wanted me to try Cialas (spell) but when talking to my PCP today he said does not affect urgency just relaxes the bladder, prostate, uretha, etc. and allows bladder to fill up more.

I was left up to me if wanted to use it. I bring that up because I have by being on MCC learned some techniques to offset the problem. I urinate when I think I can versus the need to do it. My recent DRE (June) did not reveal increase in prostate but I assume my issues are in my bladder.
