All I have been told at this stage is that there are some suspicious signs on the edge of the glad right beside where the nanonife procedure was carried out. My nanonife procedure was carried out on one side of the prostrate only.
size I have no idea.
My post nanonife psa at 3 months was 1 it has now risen to 1.7. In 12 months. It’s pretty likely that I have new cancer cells there.
If it's near the prostate capsule edge not sure if Hi Fu is the right option. Just in case some rogue cells had moved outside.
I was going to suggest Radiotherapy, just not too sure if that is possible after Nanoknife.
It could be worth asking and considering You obviously need the next treatment to do the job so important to get it right. In the meantime look on the bright side, biopsy may not find anything
nice advise. Yeah I obviously want to miss nothing this time. I am not worried at this point as life feel 100% normal. Biopsy first then ask questions. Cheers
It has popped in my head a few times as I was told that the nanonife procedure would kill off all other cancer cells close by. Initially I was told I was not suitable to have it and then at my request I asked them to review that decision and low and behold I was well within their margins. Hmmmm Self funded but my insurance covers the specialists fees the anaesthetist fees but not the hospital nor procedure costs. In total from me including travel and hotels it was around £15,000. Worth it if it works. But here I am again. Perhaps back at ground zero. Again cheers Steve
Ok , so I'll just give my final thoughts and then shut up.
As u have just said , why has the PC returned so close to original site where u had the Nanoknife, surely there must be some overlap?
If ever there was a case for a second opinion this would be it, if all options are still open then RT may be better than Hi Fu. Hi Fu is not really a mainstream treatment and not too many stats available.
I know that u can't do much until after the biopsy so wait and see.
