What’s going on with CyberKnife? I did it about 12 years ago, one of the first. Five treatments, little side effects. No issues since. The biopsy was the worst part. With the advent of very accurate narrow beam radiation I don’t understand clinging to what seems like old school blasting away for a month or so. No thanks.

A friend also had CyberKnife 12 years ago. His prostate cancer eradicated and his PSA is zero.

I was lucky enough to just have the radical prostatectomy and so far have not required further treatment.

I had not heard of CyberKnife.
I have a PSA of 19 and got an MRI a couple of weeks ago, but no biopsy yet. My urologist is at Baylor on Gaston in Dallas.
At 69 years of age, I’m not sure what is my best option.
