Anyone do Tulsa Pro, newer laser ablation procedure?

First of all, I wish you the very best with your MRI and future PSA tests. I hope they are perfect in your favor. If you are comfortable sharing those results, I am sure myself and others are anxious to hear them.

I am still in the "treatment" decision process and will be having a PSMA PET scan in a little over a week. At this point, I am considering pretty much every option including TULSA PRO, HIFU, radiation or surgery.

As mentioned, I had a couple of Gleason 8's (16 percent and 8 percent) in the two cores and a couple of Gleason 7's out of 12 samples. I sent my scans and reports out to several doctors and spoke with your doctor on Friday. He requested the aforementioned scan and mentioned that I may need more when and if he sees me for a TULSA or HIFU consultation.

Thank you again and best of luck moving forward.

@russm I had a PSA done in July 2022 which read 1.1 then another one 2 yrs post HIFU on Jan 10 which read 1.3 slightly elevated but Dr says he wants to wait until April to do the follow-up MRI and a PSA repeat. My PSA nadir was 0.9 on August 2021. He also said he does not get concerned unless the PSA rises 1.2 points above the nadir which in my case would be 2.1 Although you should not get too tied up with PSA numbers as they can certainly fluctuate.
