So, why is it better than seed implants coupled with external beam radiation?

“The new technique is called MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA)”
“Take me back to Tulsa, I'm too young to die...”
And with a 90+% reduction in prostate size, to boot - beats that stuff Joe Theismann pitches all to hell.

Because it is not radiation.

Well that explains why pregnant women almost never get prostate cancer.

I can’t imagine having any sort of hyper-invasive and destructive procedure except possibly under general. Drug-induced amnesia and a little fentanyl isn’t going to cut it for me. But glad you’re doing well!

I've had a two colonoscopies which featured removal of polyps. Fentanyl and something else out me out cold...didn't feel a thing. I was on my way home an hour after arrival...both times.
And I'm the biggest coward on the planet...just ask my family! :-)

I did 5 weeks of radiation treatment followed by the seed implants, the latter being over a year ago. There have been some side effects but I’m glad I didn’t opt for removal surgery. That said I wish this other treatment had been an option.
