Welcome all.
@norske46, I agree. Waiting is the hardest. There are so many factors to think about when weighing treatment options. It sounds like you are waiting for more results before your oncologist presents the options that are best for you. As you consider options, I think some important things to know are potential side effects and risk of recurrence. You might wish to participate in this discussion:

@cupman, what did you hear back from the docs about high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)? Are you a candidate? Did you see this article already?

Basically Pro and Cons, I am candidate. I continue to read and still question which is better, Surgery or HIFU? However, as of this week I committed to HIFU, and I am now researching to find the most experienced HIFU doctor in the country. Call it a second and third opinion from docs that provide this treatment. Thank you for the article. I will continue to share any new information
