I agree that it would be great to hear from someone who had this procedure, @jiangmx24. However, it is difficult given the fact that this procedure is relatively new.

I would be very interested in hearing about your consultation after your appointment in December. Will you post again?

Just a quick update about my consultation for Histotripsy. I visited IR doctor at UChicago Medical Center, and the doctor used a portable Ultrasound device to check the positions of my tumors. The conclusion was that it is not suitable for me, since the tumors are located behind my ribs, which block the ultrasound to reach the tumors. The doctor recommended Y90 to me instead. Does anyone have a recommendation for the good hospital for Y90 procedure, or there is not much difference between hospitals? Thanks in advance!
