I had HIFU in Oct 2021
Cancer returned worse in November 2022

And it was $25,000 out of my own pocket

Similar results here. 66 Yrs old, Had Gleason 7, (4+3) PSA near 14. After Hi-Fu, PSA only dropped and stayed at 8 for about a year. Gradually rising again to 10. Changed Dr., PSMA was ordered and revealed missed treatment areas and cancer returning to Hi-Fu treated as well. Decided on Radiation (28) and ADT treatment (4mths). PSA now 0.03 for nine mths. I believe Hi-Fu is a crap shoot hardly worth the time and pain. Thanks and Good Luck to everyonr
