@jc76 did they discuss any of the focal therapies with you? We know the research is still limited so not sure if they reduce risk versus more routine vanilla AS.

The Mayo urologist referred me to R/O. I met with R/O and with my heart failure the surgery option was not even discussed. Just the photon SBRT and hormone. Then hormone taken off after Decipher test.

Then at UFHPTI the R/O agrees with treatment plan and diagnoses but they do proton radiation at UFHPTI. I am not familiar with focal therapies nor were they discussed. I am not sure if the time frame is or was an issue as my PC was back in 2023.

I was never given a recommendation of A.S. from Mayo R/O or UFHPTI. And personally I would not have even suggested it as an option. This is just my personal feelings at time of what I wanted to do for treating it.
