Looks like you are a good candidate for focal therapy. This is by far the best treatment to minimize side effects both immediate and a few years out. Focal therapy may not be an option if the lesion gets worse after a few years of AS. Even if there is a recurrence there is a good chance that AS can be used at that time for the new lesion.

@jim18

Appreciate your review of my situation and your seeing me as a candidate for focal therapy. This is the approach I am hoping will work for me. Now waiting for the drs. to set-up consults. My urology oncologist graduated in 2024 from MD Anderson Fellowship program. They only accept 5 drs a year into this program. So I feel very comfortable with the doctor's recommendations and treatment.
