I also had prostate cancer and a year ago last October I had a procedure called H.I.F.U. , high intensity focused ultrasound. I still test for psa which is normal but my doctor tells me there is no cancer. It doesn't work for everyone but I'm happy that I chose it. One of the deciding factors for me was that you can have the procedure repeated if cancer was to return. I don't believe you can repeat radiation. My doctor was a pioneer of the procedure in Louisville, Ky. I believe there is a doctor that's well versed in the procedure in Orlando. I can come up with a name if interested.
