@kjholz my doctor did offer focal treatment as an option, but the cancer elimination statistics for focal therapy for those my age and with my disease stage are not as good as nerve sparing radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy.

@jlhiggins01 Hi again. I agree that focal treatment cancer elimination statistics are not as good as prostatectomy or radiation.
You're lucky. At least *your* surgeon mentioned there was such a thing as "focal".
Here's hoping that whatever you choose, you'd choose that again ---and it's your One and Done.
Cheers.
