I'm wondering about peoples experiences with focal HIFU treatment.
I have 3 areas of prostate that needs HIFU. I know that some NHS areas treats single cell cancer with HIFU.
My area does not offer HIFU and says 'not an option anyway with bilateral cases'.
That is not the case if I go private.
Then the question of possible TURPS procedure has been raised, being that I would need HIFU in 3/4 of gland.
Anyone had similar experience?
