Thanks so much for your lengthy and detailed response Mar1957! The only reason I had asked about the focal laser ablation was that an older sibling had sent me an article about it. From what I read that the success rate is good yet a large percentage of the test study participants had the cancer return. I don’t want this to be a lengthy and spread out process.
I wish you well and that BCBS would quit playing with peoples lives! I do plan on proceeding with the Radical prostatectomy surgery on Tuesday. My feelings are that if I decided to go with radiation or chemo and the cancer returns or they don’t get everything that it’s much more difficult to then have the radical prostatectomy. I’m not thrilled to have the threat of side affects or the long recovery period but I’d rather deal with this once and only once.
Thanks again for the insight and encouragement!
