I have a Gleason score 3+4=7 75 years old. MRI on spot as mentioned about and a small spot 3+3=6. I am scheduled for cryotherapy only on the 3+4=7 spot. Dr said we will monitor the other spot.

I chose cryotherapy because les evasive than radiation and faster recovery. Also leaves me with more options in the future. Looking to hear from anyone that has experience with cryotherapy.
