@david1153 my husband is 73. He is scheduled for the TULSA later in September. From what I understand, even though the cancer is only on one side, they will ablate the whole gland. Is that normal? Will it cause any problems? He was told he will have the cath in for 2 weeks. Hopefully, he will retain continence. Will that take time, or when the cath comes out, should he have continence. Thanks for any help you can give.

@jneylon I had the Procedure Aug 13th and the catheter for 8 days. I had zero pain after the procedure and no incontinence after the catheter was removed. I had only two lesions, one of them was cancer the other negative. I have not regained erections yet at this writing. I had normal erections prior to the procedure. I’m told it can take multiple months sometimes. I’m 78 years old and would recommend this procedure to anyone. I will tell you that Medicare Advantage Insurance Companies will not approve the procedure. I had to go back to original Medicare. This procedure has been done in the States for 7 years. Europe has been doing the procedure much longer. My doctor told me in the seven years they have only two cases where the cancer reoccurred.
