Focal therapy, sounds like a winner. SIGN ME UP.. Chemo is a killer of strength, hormone therapy takes away what makes you a man.

I’m an advocate if this after having been already treated by
focal therapy. My prostate cancer was frozen away three years ago. It was at Mayo Clinic though, not NYU. NYU is not the only ‘pioneer’ of this.

The surgery after effect was minimal. I started at 7 AM as an outpatient. After recovery they insisted I use a wheelchair, so I pushed it back to my hotel through the snow banks as soon as I got out the door. The next day I went on a 5 mile walk around town, with the only problem being irritation from the Foley catheter. They removed it the next day and the next day I drove 600 miles home. I’ve been cancer free now for three years and all my plumbing works great.
