Now taking Finasteride and Tamsulosin to reduce the prostate size and avoid any urine retention problems. Finasteride also reduces the PSA level so that is something to keep in mind when monitoring.

Managed to avoid surgery for 6 years after being advised to have the prostate removed so very glad I didn't take that advice.

In fact seeing the guy who advised it next week so that should be interesting.

I am very glad to read that you are doing well after your CryoTherapy. That was offered to me in 2015, but, I had zero confidence in it. I opted for RRP and am very happy with that choice.

Maybe worth noting for others that surgery, of whatever type, works very well for very many. However, you are happy with where you are and that is all that matters for you.

Very interesting thread. My husband wanted a focal treatment but cryo wasn’t offered by either of the 2 urologists we consulted with in the UK so travelled to the USA for a FLA having rejected the advised RP route.

Great to read your journey. With cryo

very glad to know results still good. Please continue to give updates from time to time as it is long term results that are in question on this treatment.
