@ireland1964 you still could be a candidate for a focal treatment HIFU, Tulsa or Nanoknife depending on location of your cancer. Less invasive treatments then surgery and SBRT but from what I understand a little higher chance of cancer reoccurring or of not removing it all

@davidz26 I just haven’t heard reassuring results from any type of Focal or hormone therapy. I don’t love the idea of surgery but want to take my best shot at being C free.
Perhaps I’ve read too many stories about long term side effects, scar tissue along with not providing a more definite answer surgery can provide. At 62 and decent health I feel like now is my best shot. Still trying to learn and hoping to find a facility that offers better direction and best options
