Devastated by support group meeting: I'm doing everything wrong

you were at a focal therapy discussion. I would imagine that is their focus. I was similar to you and chose surgery. My surgeon was a huge fan of ultrasound. Not sure what that procedure is called . He kept trying to convince me to do US. But it wasn't covered under Medicare and was considered an unapproved surgery so I just went with NS removal.

@tuckerp Yeah, the moderator called me again this morning to check in on me, which was super kind. He explained that the Focal therapy doc was incredibly enthusiastic and was "selling" his product because they do have a great program....but that by not allowing anyone to speak after, the timing could be challenging. Candidly, last night, he was initially telling me in so many words that I should cancel my surgery and re-evaluate everything.
Suspect your dotor was suggesting either High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) or TULSA Pro. I'm pretty sure my insurance wouldn't have covered it either.
