This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Re: Proton Beam long term results - was MRI focal laser ablation
Thanks again Terry, it was not favorable, and the study is not as well circulated or publicized. Now I have to start looking for more alternatives. I do not want surgery as I just had my gall bladder taken out in April and the wound is still heling.
Hi Terry - Thanks for the input. I think I was in the "grasping at straws" state of mind. Since then I noted the NIH is just now doing clinical trials on MRI guided FLA of prostate tumors. It looks like I need to take a step back, take a deep breath, and be thankful I have doctors on my team who strongly support my choice of AS and are working with me on follow up, diet and exercise, etc. - Charlie
