@charlesprestridge We have very similar results and age. I'm working on getting that 2nd opinion and most likely will choose surgery over radiation. Hoping I am fortunate to qualify for the Retzius procedure but am unsure how to locate who performs this in my State.
I would like to check into the TULSA Pro option if you have any direction of who to contact for evaluation. May I also ask why you weren't a canidate for this?

Dr Scionti reviewed my MRI and Biopsy.

He told me the size and placement of my lesion did not make me a candidate for Tulsa Pro. He said I was a candidate for HIFU.

I do not understand all Dr Scionti was explaining about being excluded from Tulsa Pro. I felt comfortable he had reviewed my situation and Tulsa was not a good option for me.
