I had High Intensity Focused Ultra high frequency sound HIFU done in 2018 at age 70. No problems before the procedure and none after. The urologist was one of the rarities on the east coast and luckily practiced in Charlotte, NC where I live. There are more people who do this now, I think. The procedure is non-invasive and recovery is reasonably quick. You may want to call Dr. David Konstadt at Carolina Urology at 704/660-3322 and get some information on this. I was on a "watch" for the first couple of years. I started drinking water with lemon juice in it everyday and the tumor did not grow during that time. I've read that cancer prefers an acid environment as opposed to an alkaline one. Lemon juice alerts the body to neutralize the acid drink by becoming more alkaline, I think.
My best for your health!

Lemon juice in water cannot slow or cure prostate cancer metastasis. The claim is a persistent myth, and relying on unproven remedies can cause harmful delays in seeking effective, evidence-based medical treatment.

Do some searches on the Internet and you will find more information about this.

The treatment you had eliminated the tumor.

Thanks for the HIFU info. There's definitely plenty to consider.

I was informed that lemon juice was an acid. I drink it occasionally to promote dierutic affect. I was informed was a diuretic. I am not sure if the acid is present the body tries to turn on alkaline but seems to be adding acid to body. Not a dietician so will rely on my medical professionals to give me the medical knowledge they have.

I will asked my Mayo PCP to confirm when I see him next and post what I found.
