Default Prostate biopsy

If you have a high psa.... have an MRI to locate the tumor...then have a fusion guided biopsy. The fusion guided biopsy uses the MRI image to guide the biopsy needle. Very cool technique...but still painful. Had that done, 4 biopsy samples and 3 hit the 1/4" diameter tumor. I went on to have Proton therapy in San Diego. PSA went from 10 down to stable .1 now. No surgery, no xray treatments.

If you dont know about Proton therapy and need a treatment for prostate cancer....please do some research before you have ANYTHING done.

fyi there are several Proton treatment centers in Florida!
