I was looking at the Mridian MRI guided radiotherapy capabilities for my upcoming choice of radiation vs prostate removal. The feedback from various people on this Mayo support site have helped me lean in this direction. I understand the unintentional bias Dr's may have in using there own "stuff" but even over proton therapy, which is also near me, doesn't it make sense to use the radiation device that has the greatest targeting capability to limit damage to good tissue, may only require 5 doses and minimizes side effects?

My thoughts exactly. I’m 55 years old Gleason 6 wondering how long I can endure my anxiety on Active Surveillance. In the meantime doing the research on treatment. Proton therapy seems to make the most sense for someone with cancer that hasn’t spread beyond the prostate. What is everyone’s point of view on this?
