@jeffmarc I am meeting with the same doctor that did my biopsy. She also does the cryotherapy. Educated at Johns Hopkins. My primary urologist said this doctor that did my biopsy sent him an email about me being a good candidate for cryotherapy.

@dpo6508 cryotherapy is another focal treatment using extreme cold, similar to TulsaPro which uses extreme heat (sonically generated).
They both work, in that they kill the PCa and avoid problems of incontinence or impotence. Did you have a Decipher Score?
Aggressiveness is a key factor in your treatment since these types of cells are very resistant - even to high dose radiation. If you have a low Decipher score - and your urologist is VERY experienced with cryotherapy - you should probably consider it.
There are no guarantees with ANY treatment for PCa, so if cryo doesn’t work you’re no worse off for trying and if it does work - you are GOLDEN!
