Thank you Opportunity. I live within 12 miles of Geisinger Medical Center. You can run a search for them on Google and take a look. They have 2 of the DiVinci Robotic systems and a couple of the urologists have good experience with it. I had my 1st saturation biopsy done by Dr. Daniel Rukstalis, the chief of the department. If I turn up positive, I will be discussing the robotic procedure with him. I have pretty much decided that will be the way to go at my young age (53). Brachytherapy can eventually lead to future biopsies if PSA level rise again years down the road. The seed implants would make it difficult to detect a future Prostate Cancer using a DRE. Plus, I'm not so sure that you can have multiple Brachys. I believe it's a one time shot. I realize that I will only be getting older and becoming more of a surgical risk so, now is the time for robotics surgery if I have cancer.
